Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
Maybe it's me, but I find it difficult to dislike any movie that has horses, guns and big hats in it.

50
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
What's going on is: hunks on horsies.

40
Variety
Eddie Cockrell
Has the frustrating feel of a rousing, epic oater sadly compromised.

40
LA Weekly
Hazel-Dawn Dumpert
A blandly competent dramatization of the famed Texas lawmen's post–Civil War history starring the blandly handsome tube stars

40
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
This old-fashioned Western about the glory years of the Texas Rangers, cast with fresh-faced, telegenic young actors whose performances range from adequate to awful, is undermined by a serious lack of true grit.

38
Chicago Tribune
John Petrakis
I can only hope that this film was a lot of fun to make. That way, someone will have enjoyed the experience.

30
Austin Chronicle
Marrit Ingman
There's not much spunk here.

20
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
A routine shoot-'em-up, with the triteness of Scott Busby and Martin Copeland's script exceeded only by the flatness of Steve Miner's direction.

20
The New York Times
Dana Stevens
This violent meatball western deserves to be forgotten quickly.

12
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Epic waste of celluloid.
