The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: A-
"It's a film of redemption, of alienation among the inhabitants of the dusty, rattler-infested West and, on its surface, of one man demanding a kind of moral restitution for the slaying of his friend in a place where little justice exists."
Austin American-Statesman: 4 of 5 stars
"...is more Peckinpah than Lonesome Dove, but one wonders if the actor/filmmaker's assuredness might be enough to sell this strange tale to fans of more conventional Westerns."
The Palm Beach Post: B
"Like many of the best westerns, this is an allegorical tale of honor and self-discovery, more internal than action-driven, with characters that deepen along their peculiar odyssey."
