Apart from the masterfully edited climactic showdown between Scott and the last bad guy standing, it's pretty routine stuff.

Oooh. Lee Marvin. :]

Randolph Scott and Lee Marvin's characters made this film fun to watch because of the way there personality's contrast and play off of each other.

Nothing too mindblowing, but enjoyable nonetheless. Moves at a nice pace, the story is simple but effective, and Lee Marvin is a delightfully sleazy baddie.

Very good no nonsense western. Goes through it's paces at a sharp pace, has some nice shots of the desert and mountains, and great performances from Marvin and Scott.

Even though I am not a big fan of westerns this was a very solid movie with a beginning that grabs your attention and just does not let go. It is short with a very good story to it and Lee Marvin was awesome in this.

Above average Western with a youthful Marvin and a formidable 58 year old Randolph Scott.

The almost lyrical sequences where we watch from a reasonable distance the Greer family travelling, their caravan in tow, over the rugged landscape, stop the film from feeling rushed and are also quite lovely to watch, but the whole film is a tight production throughout, only eighty minutes long, much to its benefit. Lee Marvin is excellent as Bill Masters though Randolph Scott as Stride is also memorable. It isn't perfect but it is is a tough, effortlessly engaging western that I enjoyed a lot.

The first and best of the Scott-Boetticher westerns. Great Kennedy script, great bad buy (Lee Marvin), and a fine heroine (the beautiful, unfortunate Gail Russell).

Boetticher has done better than this. It's a pretty good movie but I felt as if the story failed to live up to its full potential. I found the relationship between the couple to be the most interesting part of the plot but it ended up a miss. I always dislike the female characters in westerns, but Gail Russell's was an almost obvious bitch. Still it's so hard to go wrong with both Scott and Marvin in the cast.

Short and sweet, this tightly paced western is full of tense scenes and great dramatic performances. Lee Marvin is wonderfully slimy.
