Lack-luster, routine shoot-'em-up western., 18 February 2000
3/10
Author: D. Watters from Portland, Oregon

The use of stock footage and uninspired acting and direction make this a very slow, routine western effort. Despite the cast (Hayden, Larson) this one is just too predictable to suffer through. And yet, in spite of it's failings, it often appears on TV while better efforts rot in a can somewhere. Go figure.
