Entertaining. Lee Marvin and Burt Lancaster are at their best here. This has everything that you need in a good Western. Top notch acting, engaging action, a memorable western score, and good script.
It felt slightly long, but has a satisfying, intelligent ending which somewhat makes up for it. The Burt Lancaster one-liners provided some fun comic relief throughout what was at times a raw, savage Western.
Wasn't a fan of the blatant animal cruelty on display - with multiple scenes depicting horses being killed.
I found it slightly hard to follow at times, and my attention started coming and going. But the overall feel of it, along with terrific performances made up for it and put it alongside some of the most memorable in the genre.
Must watch for Western fans, or those needing some Lee Marvin or Burt Lancaster bravado in their lives.
