Reviews

• Joe Hembus judges that the film was "from the 'Last Appearances of the Tired Heroes' section with a lot of chatter and borrowings from spaghetti westerns ."
• Phil Hardy calls it an "inconsistent film" that is "influenced in equal parts by the fundamental truths of John Ford and the violence of the modern western."
• Lexicon of international film : "Despite the star cast, a rather tired mix of classic and spaghetti westerns in a very inconsistent production."
• Evangelical film observer : “A US Western in a powerful, gripping staging, well played and photographed, but not without danger for younger visitors due to a predominantly sympathetic representation of the conflicting main characters. Better only from the age of 18. "
