Teniendo en cuenta que el western clásico se me suele hacer bola, ha sido una peli bélica bastante decente. Muy a destacar algunas secuencias de acción que impresionan porque están rodadas a pelo.

Good if not a little too long Wayne/Ford Western. There's some great action sequences and for the most part it does a solid job at telling what becomes a quite grand story
