I remember seeing this movie as a kid and finding it truly repellent. I don't really care about the politics of the film, or as one yakking poster went on and on about how "unfair" the Indians were treated, blah blah blah.
Lancaster is wasted here...his part could have been played by anyone from Warren Oates to Simon Oakland. Doesn't matter. There is not one sympathetic or even interesting character, excepted perhaps Bruce Davison's. The Ulzana of the title isn't interesting, compelling or heroic no matter which "side" you might empathize with. You wish all the characters would just go to Hell.
The reality is that this is one boring film, punctuated by scenes that are disgusting and foul. It's beyond me how some might find this entertaining. Beware.
Some movies you have never heard of for good reason. Here is an example of a good reason.
