Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
This is a story, you will agree, that has been told before. What distinguishes Kasdan's telling of it is the style and energy he brings to the project.
– Roger Ebert,

fresh:
A sweeping, glorious-looking western that's at least a full generation removed from the classic films it brings to mind.
– Janet Maslin,

rotten:
Kasdan resorts to a TV-like shorthand, substituting shtick for personality.

fresh:
Real rewards of the film are in the visuals and rarely has the West appeared so alive, yet unlike what one carries in his mind's eye. Ida Random's production design is thoroughly convincing in detail.
