Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Oct 23, 2004
3/4
The result is a movie that isolates the John Wayne mystique and surrounds it with the necessary simplicity and directness. Go to Full Review

One of John Wayne's last films (he died in 1979) is also one of his weakest, a tired and tiresome Western for which he is way too old. Go to Full Review

This easy to take Western was hard for me to take. Go to Full Review
Tony Mastroianni Cleveland Press Nov 20, 2003
The picture has a red herring or two and ends with the classic double cross. It's fun and as Westerns go rather pleasant and entertaining. Go to Full Review

Hermione S Mar 24, 2019 This is an entertaining late western with lots of great lines from the Duke and the rest of the cast but it lacks character depth in the bad guys. The bad guys never speak and never show their faces. Still worth watching if you are a John Wayne fan. See more
Harry R May 29, 2017 There's a plot here, a story, but this film, filled with shots of Wayne and his band riding (riding left, riding right, up hills, crossing rivers, riding, riding) is actually more concerned with aging. Thank goodness for Ann Margret who saves this from being a visit to the rest home. See more
