The Eastwood team has pulled off a modest enjoyable winner.
Howard Thompson, New York Times
Rotten
Cimino was already making an aesthetic of inarticulateness, and the film is by turns surly, incoherent, and provocatively mysterious.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Fresh
The likeable result, made for and with the personnel of Eastwood's Malpaso Company, looks like a throwaway Eastwood vehicle.
