Bend of the River Ratings & Reviews
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Part of the growing breed of oaters that added psychological underpinnings to the usual shoot-'em-up antics.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
It's like Stewart was pouring every negative emotion he felt over the past ten years into one moment.
DVDTalk.com
David Cornelius
The screenplay keeps the simple tale moving at a furious clip.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
One of the greatest Westerns ever.
Associated Press
Bob Thomas
Bend of the River should draw no complaints from western fans and movie goers in general.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Against Mann's splendors, as always, lie the elusiveness of civilization, the flux of alliances, and the purgative wrestling of warriors
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
One of five masterful Westerns Anthony Mann made with James Stewart.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
A stunner - shockingly violent (the brutality always catches us off-guard), morally ambiguous, beautifully paced.
