The set-up of rough guys getting hired to free a kidnapped woman seems somewhat generic for Western films of that era, but the movie takes a few unexpected turns on the way. The action is plenty and filmed decently enough, the landscapes are absolutely gorgeous. Of course it still feels a bit dated but overall it's still a pleasant and entertaining experience from a time long gone.

A fabulous western. Each character in the posse brings their own unique element and interpretation of the character to make it a truly memorable group. Kudos to the great eye shown by Richard Brooks behind the camera.

Richard Brooks' western has more in common with a modern piece of revisionism than the genre films of it's time. Unfortunately it lacks the existential depth of Peckinpah but also the humor and characters of Hawks. It's still an enjoyable if forgettable flick and is most notable for Conrad Hall's stunning cinematography. Practically everyone involved in this would go on to better things in the genre or had already passed their prime.

This is the sort of action/adventure story they don't make anymore, one with character and charm. It also works as a fine western, with a star studded cast for 60s cinema. Very relevant themes of today are found, such as dealing with those who attach meaning to war, and the ambiguous nature of conflict in general.
