Just when it starts getting interesting...


Just when you think this movie is going nowhere, boom, …it gets slightly better. Then it goes nowhere again. What could have been a much better western, this movie crawls along at a snail’s pace. When it’s all said and done, it’s just a mediocre psychological western similar to “"Firecreek."” Robert Ryan stars as a cattle rancher willing to kill his neighbor to keep fences off his land. But when the time comes to settle the dispute once and for all, a sleepy little town gets a rude awakening by some unwelcome visitors. 1.5 action rating.

There's nothing mediocre about this film. If you don't like a film which takes it slow and easy, that's your problem. It doesn't make it a bad film.
