Tama on hyva viihdyttava plajays hienoine toimintakohtauksineen. Siina on paljon kliseita ja epaloogisuuksia, mutta niilla ei tunnu olevan valia. Eastwood on Eastwood vaikka voissa paistaisi. Han muuten ohjasi/naytteli samana vuonna myos erinomaisen White Hunter Black Heartin, joten tama on liennyt olla hauska "sivuprojekti".
