everything you have heard about this movie is true.
... View MoreIn truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

... View MoreThis is representative of the sort of bread and butter fodder that Robert Mitchum, still being billed as Bob, worked his way through during his early apprenticeship at Republic before moving up the ladder and being taken on at RKO. The picture is absolutely no different from any of the multitude of oaters that lower rung studios like Republic churned out ceaselessly to fill the theatres lower half of a double bill. Man with a mysterious past? Check. Goofy sidekick? Check. Righteous sheriff who wants to keep the peace? Check. And on and on. Unless you're a fan of these programmers the only reason to catch this one is to observe the indefinable thing that is star quality. Robert Mitchum had it in spades. Whereas everyone else in the picture is adequate to passable Mitchum is already his fully formed laconic self, relaxed and charismatic like no else in the picture can even approach effortlessly pulling focus whenever the camera turns his way. He's the reason to watch this short shoot em up but once your curiosity is satisfied you'll never watch it again.
