About
If you enjoy darker, morally thorny Westerns like The Gunfighter or The Man from Laramie, this delivers a relentless manhunt and uneasy questions about justice; Not for you if you want a light, upbeat ride.
Pros: tense revenge-driven chase; strong lead performance; striking outdoor scenery | Cons: uneven love-interest role; talky exposition at times; ending divides viewers
