Another Hollywood western dead on arrival.
Wow! Hard to believe some reviews gave this movie some fairly high ratings. The amount realism is under whelming. Thousands of square miles of desert and the engaged couple just happened to ride into a 10 foot gap in the boulders and run into our hero. Minutes later, the Army troopers just happened to ride into the exact same place. What a coincidence. Rifles and revolvers fire but with no recoil. The two females in our story just happen to be the hottest chicks in the west. Humph. Horses are "secured" in a single makeshift rope corral and don't freak out and scatter even though bullets are flying around all over the place and guns are making pretty loud banging noises. Indians are able to reach the white man's encampment with arrows but we are told "they are out of range" for the Army rifles. Apparently, horses don't have to eat. I could go on, but you get the idea. And yet, some reviewers felt this movie rated and 8, 9 or 10.
