Real rewards of the film are in the visuals and rarely has the West appeared so alive, yet unlike what one carries in his mind's eye. Ida Random's production design is thoroughly convincing in detail.

Rotten
Kasdan resorts to a TV-like shorthand, substituting shtick for personality.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Fresh
A sweeping, glorious-looking western that's at least a full generation removed from the classic films it brings to mind.
Janet Maslin, New York Times
Fresh
This is a story, you will agree, that has been told before. What distinguishes Kasdan's telling of it is the style and energy he brings to the project.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
