The Charge at Feather River
1953
Western

"The Charge at Feather River" is an action-packed but never exciting western. Something happens all the time and the characters hardly come to rest, but a feeling of excitement or tension never really arises because the film is staged too dryly. Another reason for this is that you don't really care about the characters and you never worry about them. A few of the large group are briefly characterized and some have character traits or goals that draw their way through the film, but a film like "The Magnificent Seven" manages to introduce the characters to me a lot better and to bring them closer to me. Still, I don't think the film is particularly bad, it is just nothing special and totally mediocre.
