An old John Ford film. The start of the film isn't too bad, but once the psychological aspect takes the upper hand, my interest quickly waned. The performances just aren't good enough for this type of film and the presentation is pretty basic, making the second half a real hassle to get through.
I just didn't care enough about the characters and the dramatic side of the story never took hold as the performances lacked nuance. The black-and-white cinematography isn't too remarkable either and even though the score received accolades, it only added to my frustration. Not a good one.
