Well shot, but essentially empty action Western, with a fast sinking Holden trying his best to stay upright during his scenes. Holden's ravaged face is the saddest thing here; next is Widmark wasted in a snarling, surface characterization, and finally the script, which really goes nowhere. The action, when it does sporadically appear, is well staged, with a fantastic cattle stampede at the end of the film. But director Dmytryk, a highly paid hack at this point in his career, can do little to enliven the proceedings. A waste of time, and deservedly a flop when first released.
