Time Out says

Photographed by the admirable Bruce Surtees, but a curiously strangled Western which can't make up its mind whether it wants to wring straight action out of the range war between poor Mexicans and a tycoon rancher (Duvall), or to explore the moral standing of the disreputable character (Eastwood) who takes law and order into his hands. Not unlikeable, but its irresolution is typified by the inappropriately rumbustious scene in which Eastwood drives a train through a saloon.

  • If it does nothing else, this film establishes the role of modern firearms in changing the Old West. No more clouds of black powder smoke, Don Strroud carries a 10-shot Mauser semi-automatic pistol, and James Wainwright "busts buttons" with a Mauser Model 1898 high-powered rifle. Interestingly, neither weapon had an American production counterpart.
