Reviews

“One of the loveliest adventures... director Phillip Borsos is able to make this a human story and still keep it exciting as an action picture.”
– Roger Ebert

“A graceful, stunningly-photographed bio of Bill Miner, a notorious train robber in Canada and the US at the turn of the century.”
– Variety

“Terrific. Richard Farnsworth is a delight... remarkably appealing with a face the camera adores.”
– Vincent Canby, The New York Times
