A big yawn that only reminds us why movie westerns are six feet under and not likely to make a comeback.
Rex Reed, New York Observer
Rotten
The bizarre result of another in a long line of westerns tailored for rising actors, who no one really takes seriously in such projects.
David Hunter, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten
The movie's presumption of ignorance on the audience's part is monumental.
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice

Picture 1860s Missouri as Ft. Lauderdale during Spring Break and you've got the idea.
