Viewing Notes
A lesser Winner/Bronson collaboration for sure. Even having Jack Palance on board doesn’t do much to elevate this film above average. Not a lot happens and Bronson, as great as he is, is underutilized as the focus is placed on the posse hunting him down. Even as Bronson lures them into Apache territory and slowly picks them off, it’s uneventful. Just seems odd that the leading man here has so little screen time. Not one I’d revisit.
