Some small effort is made to heat up the drama (the hero has to look on helplessly while his daughter is attacked in slow motion by a pair of skin-crawlingly reptilian rapists), but for the most part this hurried Western shows no appreciation of the emotional meanings in the rubber match between two long-time enemies, a legendary lawman (retired) and a half-breed convict (escaped). It depends, for its impact, on the familiarity of its old material (musical scorer Jerry Goldsmith, in fact, depends on some of his old material note for note). Charlton Heston is fittingly stuffy as an Old West dinosaur, and Chris Mitchum is, on first sight, a scream as a Modern Man from Massachussetts. With James Coburn, Barbara Hershey; directed by Andrew V. McLaglen. (1977) — Duncan Shepherd
