An action-packed slog

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

I wanted to give this a shot because when I read that it was two episodes of The Virginian combined to make a "movie" I thought the first part would have Marvin and the other part would have Bronson. I had seen this done before with "Man from U.N.C.L.E" movies, two Gemini Man episodes together in "Riding with Death", and a few drive in flicks like "The Doomsday Machine, and "They Saved Hitler's Brain". The results are usually not very good but I figured with two legends like Bronson and Marvin it would still be something decent. Little did I know that instead of some footage to tie the two episodes together that instead they would cut scene by scene the two together, and also it seems, with stock footage from a dozen other films. I had to stop watching pretty early in when I saw random Union Calvary soldier footage in with lots of wagon trail footage. The telescope trick was a riot (and lame). If you like really insulting to your intelligence entertainment (to laugh at) then you may be interested in this, otherwise see it for the curiosity and don't stay too long or you may get angry at the creators for making something so horrible. I think this was made for overseas audiences where English is not the first language. 1 of 10.

The single thing that really makes this film bad is the editing ( which might be the worst I have ever seen). You can actually spot where this film is spliced together from two episodes of "The Virginian" You can even tell how James Drury aged from the Lee Marvin scenes to the Charles Bronson scenes. Not to mention (spoilers ahead) the stupid abrupt ending , where you have no idea if Harge Talbot (Bronson) kills his brother Kalig (Marvin) or not. Of course, Marvin's character was originally named Martin Kalig, not Kalig Talbot ( see what a little IMD research can do?). There is only one reason to watch this film, and that is Bronson, who must have given an excellent performance in the original episode, because he actually looks good here ( or is it, because everyone else ( especially Marvin) looks so bad?). Perhaps the best way to see Bronson (if you are a Bronson Completist which is the only reason to see it), is look for the original episode or if you must watch this film, reverse what the editors did..... Zap through every scene not featuring Bronson or his wife. 1 star

This has gotta be the worst movie of Charles Bronson & Lee marvin. I was truly disappointed. An absolute waste of time as well as money. I read the reviews by other viewers but still I bought it. I wanted to kill myself by the time I reach the first half of the movie. There are many better movies of Charles & Lee Marvin which are not on DVD & yet this movie is been released on DVD! It's really a surprise.Pls. guys, do not waste your money & time on this one. It's better to break your head against a wall than watching this.

A Sam Fuller-directed and scripted episode of the TV show The Virginian starring Lee Marvin and Lee J. Cobb is cobbled together with another episode (I assume) starring Charles Bronson to create this dreadful mess. Bizarre voice-overs, misplaced shots, and freeze-frames attempt to create the new plot. Utterly ludicrous and a disservice to a great filmmaker.
