Maybe it's me, but I find it difficult to dislike any movie that has horses, guns and big hats in it. - 50
Entertainment Weekly
What's going on is: hunks on horsies. - 40
TV Guide Magazine
This old-fashioned Western about the glory years of the Texas Rangers, cast with fresh-faced, telegenic young actors whose performances range from adequate to awful, is undermined by a serious lack of true grit. - 40
Variety
Has the frustrating feel of a rousing, epic oater sadly compromised. - 40
L.A. Weekly
A blandly competent dramatization of the famed Texas lawmen's post–Civil War history starring the blandly handsome tube stars - 38
Chicago Tribune
I can only hope that this film was a lot of fun to make. That way, someone will have enjoyed the experience. - 30

There's not much spunk here. - 20
