Film.com

A fascinating study. What might surprise audiences, though, is how droll the picture is, how much of the violence is just slapstick, and how much deadpan humor is running throughout the film.

By Henry Cabot Beck FULL REVIEW

Los Angeles Times

Overlong, overwritten.

By Kevin Thomas FULL REVIEW

Variety

A quasi-metaphysical revenge Western that remains as elusive as a distant mirage on a long, dusty trail.

By Robert Koehler FULL REVIEW

TV Guide Magazine

Directed and co-written by country singer Dwight Yoakam, this film just screams "vanity project."

By Maitland McDonagh FULL REVIEW

L.A. Weekly

Oxymoronic musings of a vain country singer.

By Hazel-Dawn Dumpert FULL REVIEW

Mr. Showbiz

A miserable western that is clearly headed downward toward the latter destination.
