About
You may like this if you enjoy rough-edged cavalry westerns with clashing personalities and a sprawling adventure, somewhere between The Horse Soldiers and The Professionals; Not for you if slow starts and a messy, overlong story frustrate you.
Pros: strong central rivalry; rugged adventure; plenty of action | Cons: overlong pacing; uneven storytelling; romance feels unnecessary
