The belated arrival of Dane Clark breathes much-needed life into this plodding bromance between vengeance-seeking Civil War veteran Ben Johnson and blind Peter Graves. Clark is Graves' bad-boy brother who takes exception to their friendship. IMDb gives Clark's height as 5'9", which is slightly below average, but he looks tiny compared to Johnson and Graves, which tends to diminish his air of menace. He's still the only reason to watch this otherwise mediocre drama, though.
