A fairly decent Western, refreshingly inglorious, though director Winner and writer Wilson definitely outdid it with their following movie Chato's Land. Among Lawman's flaws I count the terrible Burt Lancaster in the lead, but that balances out thanks to the impressive supporting cast, including Robert Duvall and the spectacular Lee J. Cobb.

It has it's pompous moments - it's a western - but that's mainly due to theatrical Lancaster. In fact, for all it's seemingly cliche plot, it's actually a very sober and contrary comment to the genre, and worth watching.

Lancaster was probably a miscast.

Loved this Western chock full of stars of the past. Simple plot but just well made.

"Lawman" is standard western fare, complete with an uncompromising protagonist ready to kill or be killed. The climax is what you would expect, but it comes with a couple of curveballs.

This is a refreshingly complex film with neither side being clearly good or bad. What they are is increasingly unyielding, and it's a compelling reflection on intransigence and the violence it leads to. The film's final bloodbath is a victory for no one.

Great shootouts and rather fine action. Lancaster isn’t very convincing and it drags a little too often.
