Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
One of the worst Westerns in years, curious only for the way it mixes standard motifs from Western and war film. The beginning owes everything to The Dirty Dozen; and the finale, the attack on the fortress (after an extremely plodding journey across familiar terrain) has commander Telly Savalas' uniform looking more like field grey than Confederate blue. There's some wholesale carnage at the end, but even that fails to revive flagging spirits.Author: CPe
