Review

A star rating of 2 out of 5.

David Parkinson

Set in Colorado in 1908, this is a coarse, crass and calamitous misjudgement. Yet it's worth watching to witness the battle of wills between Lee Marvin and Oliver Reed, in which the former strains every sinew to stop himself lapsing into caricatured mugging, while the latter tempts him to stray with an exhibition of unabashed showboating. Caught in the middle of this titanic struggle are Robert Culp, as the politician who once gypped the feuding duo, and Kay Lenz, as the homely hooker who takes a fancy to Marvin. Don Taylor clearly thinks he's serving up an offbeat treat, but he ain't.
