Reviews (1)
It doesn't impress nor offend, it is probably the best possible description of this movie. John Wayne is always good, he is simply the way you want him and the way you mostly get him. However, I liked the whole sequence of how he tries to survive. Sure, it could have been rougher, but for its time, it is still quite good.
