Lee Marvin and Burt Lancaster are tremendous in this rugged revisionist men-on-a-mission western, a classic of the “just guys being dudes” genre. The relationships all feel completely believable. The camaraderie between the four leads is off the charts and the late-film reunion between Dolworth and Chiquita is one of the most badass, heartbreaking things I’ve ever seen.

Really, really great.
