Critic Reviews

Ella Taylor

The movie gives every cheerful appearance of having been shot with no time and less money, and it doesn't have much on its mind, unless you count the moral integrity supplied by local Apaches more by way of Mel Brooks than Howard Hawks. Read full review

Mark Olsen

Unengaging and uninspired and that leaves far too much unexplored. Read full review

Stephen Farber

While the three actresses have an appealing grittiness, they aren't always up to the demands of the roles. Read full review

Joe Leydon

Far too aggressively seamy (and ferociously foul-mouthed) to please diehard fans of traditional sagebrush sagas, this misfire offers nothing in the way of wit, innovation or even marquee allure to interest auds accustomed to edgier revisionist oaters. Read full review

The three strong women are really the stars of the movie, but they are listed as subs with even bit part actors ahead of them in the opening credits, showing insulting sexism. Did the studio not think they were pretty or star enough? I’m disappointed in Disney Studios. And Rotten TomatoesThe three strong women are really the stars of the movie, but they are listed as subs with even bit part actors ahead of them in the opening credits, showing insulting sexism. Did the studio not think they were pretty or star enough? I’m disappointed in Disney Studios. And Rotten Tomatoes doesn’t even have their pictures. Trailing cast credits lists them properly first, which doesn’t make up for it. Unique, unusual, attention grabbing western with more realism and accurate portrayals than most films. Superbly directed and acted exuding an atmosphere, making one feel the movie. If the Django Sketti westerns are ‘B’ movies, with most being ‘C’ movies, this is an A+. An underrated film, well worth the watch, twice.… Expand

I liked it a lot and think you are all being a bit to harsh on it. Yes there were some production flaws but I thought the characters got it right.

Roger Corman-esque dialogue & board-stiff performances can't overcome the fantastic locations in this low budget Western. 3 widows can't decide between running or fighting, all while they're on the run & fighting! B+ for effort, A+ for the beautiful New Mexico locale, but the Roger Corman-esque dialogue & board-stiff performances can't overcome the fantastic locations in this low budget Western. 3 widows can't decide between running or fighting, all while they're on the run & fighting!

Quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. Poor acting, bad dialogue, and a terrible plot.

If there were negative points available for ratings of movies, this one would be at least a negative 10.
