      Matt Brunson Film Frenzy A hard-hitting Western saga which sports a chilling twist at the end. Rated: 3/4 Apr 23, 2019 Full Review Christopher Lloyd Sarasota Herald-Tribune Gregory Peck was the perfect expression of idealized cinematic manhood: Remote yet full of passion, stern but empathetic, skilled in the ways of violence but reluctant to employ them. Rated: 4/5 Aug 1, 2011 Full Review Fernando F. Croce CinePassion Henry King's stroll into Anthony Mann Country is a stronger, more limber, more complex Western than The Gunfighter Sep 5, 2009 Full Review Steve Crum Video-Reviewmaster.com A-1 western revenge flick with strong Peck performance. Rated: 5/5 Jul 17, 2008 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Stumbles when it catches a bad case of religion. Rated: B Dec 29, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

      Conrad N Enjoy watching older movies. This has a great cast including Lee Van Cleef. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Angelo C Great western with a twist at the end. Peck is magnificent and Boyd is terrifying. For once the critics got it right but the audience score watched another movie because I love it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/24 Full Review Mat L Visually stunning and rather original, loved the twist, I was completely surprised. Well acted by a solid cast. A terrific movie for Joan Collins for once. Poor Joan was so good, so reliable and so professional that you could put her in any dreck, she would make it work and turn it into a cult hit. And boy, did they put her in any dreck. Here she's lovely and very appealing in her best American accent, she doesn't play a bitch, and you just wish there was more of her. Welll done Joanie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/04/23 Full Review Steve D Predictable but solid western. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Really good western here but man it’s a long one but I still recommend it. James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas May 24, 2023 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/23/23 Full Review John Z Tough, no holds barred, terrific Western!!
