Reviews (1)
"It neither impresses nor offends" is probably the best possible description of this film. John Wayne is always good; he's just the way you want him and usually get him. I did like the whole sequence of how they tried to survive. Sure, it could have been grittier, but for its time, it's still pretty good.
