A lot of care and attention were obviously devoted to selecting locations, designing sets, and grooming handlebar mustaches. Much less attention went to making one believe that any of the events took place circa 1879.

Doesn't really cut it in the Western genre.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 1, 2009

A tough-talking but soft-hearted tale that is entertaining in a sprawling, old-fashioned manner.

Full Review | Dec 4, 2008

There's a misguided romantic subplot and the ending rather sprawls, but mostly this is rootin', tootin' entertainment.

It wants to be at once traditional and morally ambiguous. The two visions don't quite harmonize.

The film is a mess, there are two or three pre-climaxes but no climax.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Highly stylized fashion-wise but awkwardly unfocused in its plotlines, it aims for the western iconography of Sam Peckinpah and Sergio Leone but never gets past its own directorial hurdles.

| Jan 1, 2000

Plays like a three-hour rough cut that's been trimmed down to a slightly shorter rough cut.

| Original Score: C- | Dec 25, 1993
