Reviews

"Hard Western with increasingly implausible plot development that increases to the point of confusion."

- Lexicon of international film .

“... carefully crafted in terms of atmosphere, story and performance. Only the sudden and dramatic transformation of the drunkard into a seasoned man of the law as well as the pompous, romantic derailments do not go on a cow's skin. "

- Movie Maniax

"Very early, entertaining western"

- Ulrich P. Bruckner

“As the film lasts, it runs out of creative breath until it silts up completely in unbelievability in the last part. Unnecessary."

- Protestant film observer
