This is certainly not at the level of ULZANA'S RAID, but this William Witney - Audie Murphy western is quite good, efficient, though I will forever prefer the couple Randolph Scott - Budd Boetticher in terms of western topics. It evokes the topic of gun runners purchasing rifles, to Indians. This is not new at all and after watching hundreds of those movies speaking of this matter, I am already tired, no matter the directing. No shining in characters, it remains flat, tepid but acceptable enough to resume the film till the end. So, this is a William Witney's western made during his last half of career; and useless to say that I prefer reminding Bill Witney as the G MEN VS BLACK DRAGON serial and other ones, from the late thirties and early forties. Here, he was a real genius for action sequences.
