	Author	Review
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"No one else does what Mr. Hill can do, though it may well be that no one else wants to."	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"What makes the film good are Hill's style and the acting. Everything is cranked up about 10 degrees (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"Sensational rather than serious, it is an exploitation picture but one with class: it has style, a point to make that happens to be highly topical and, thankfully, a dry, saving sense of humor."	POS
United States	Richard Harrington The Washington Post	"[The plot] doesn't make much sense (...) There are simply too many problems, starting with Hill's clumsy exposition and clumsier development"	NEG
United States	Variety	"An amusing concoction that is frequently offbeat and at times compelling"	POS
United Kingdom	Richard Wiseman Empire	"There are flaws aplenty, but also some effective, old-fashioned Western style performances and a spectacularly over the top finish (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Pat Graham Chicago Reader	"The character interactions are strong, especially for this depleted genre, and Hill's tight, efficient styling recovers a lot of lost formal ground"	POS
