This is an entrancing film in which you get lost and don't even think
about getting out again until its stunning conclusion. I've been a
Henry Silva fan ever since I saw him in it. And it features Elizabeth
Montgomery in her most enticing roll ever.
The story starts a little rough, and you just have to stick with it for a
while, but it ripens into a headlong thriller and finally cruises to its
wrenching climax. What do you think? Can a guy like this get
away with a relentless series of assaults on such powerful people
forever?
All that said, and still giving it a high rating, this movie is definitely a
1963 film. What passed for heavy action back then has long been
eclipsed. There is somehow almost an innocence to the
slaughter, if that's possible. Henry Silva's character, however, will
always stand up as a smart, remorseless, merciless and
inexorable visitor of revenge. And he's so cool.
