The Gunfighter Ratings & Reviews

  • sbe86January 15, 2026
    A western classic
  • Mister ArnMay 17, 2025
    Gregory Peck develops Jimmy Ringo into a person that you want to see turn it around.
  • eif999January 24, 2025
    Prefer this to High Noon when it comes to talky town-based Westerns. Probably old hat for new viewers but this one invented a lot of western tropes. Western obsessed will love the whos-who of background actors.
