Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
That the climax fizzles must be laid on doorstep of Halsted Welles, who adapts Elmore Leonard's story quite well until that point.
This is a first-rate action picture -- a respectable second section to High Noon.
It's of necessity a talkative film, with Ford working on Heflin's nerves in a stream of Machiavellian banter, but one held in perfect balance by Daves, who keeps the tension strung taut.
Despite an abundance of talk, this 1957 film is often considered [Daves'] best.
