Lawman J.D. Cahill can stand alone against a bad-guy army. But as a widower father, he's on insecure footing raising two sons. Particularly when he suspects his boys are involved in a bank robbery - and two killings. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (2)
A decent western with the classiest possible John Wayne in the typical role of a proper tough guy who’s never far from delivering a punch or a wisecrack. Action, suspense, a joke here and there, a pleasant atmosphere and Bernstein's sensational music. ()
And another excellent meeting of generations, where it is very clear how much of an icon Duke is. In this case, the writers gave him some personal problems, where he doesn't get along too well with his sons because his work as an American marshal was more important to him. But the time has come for that to change. The film has a pretty good pace and can be watched without getting bored. ()
