Here's another overrated "critics favorite." Many of the critics complain about how this film got little notice when it came out "but it was really a gem." Well, the public was right and they were wrong. It deserved the lousy reception it got.
This is a boring piece of junk with mean edge to it....too mean an edge, which is probably why the critics liked it. They relate better to movies featuring evil, which this does. Lee J. Cobb's gang is crude, nasty and just plain no fun to watch. Cobb rants and raves most of the film, which gets aggravating in a hurry. An aging Gary Cooper has a sour face most of the way through which pretty sums up most people's feeling about this sour movie.
score 2/10
