Randolph Scott ushers in the new era of the mature, more complex Western for adults, with this tale of an enraged cowboy living only for revenge against a ruthless and evil cattle baron (who even has a scar!). Traditional by today's standards, but well done and enjoyable. The brutal fist fight scene, complete with some gruesome finger breakings, was quite harsh for the era. The film was a big hit, but though breaking new ground, it still had a nice and tidy moral resolution.
