The Ox-Bow Incident Ratings & Reviews

  • kordulasJanuary 8, 2026
    fantastic and yet simple movie
  • hairydemonMay 24, 2025
    a terrible fable beautifully told.
  • Mister ArnMay 13, 2025
    Very commanding western with a message about mob rule and what make a man a man. Lots of preaching in this movie, but it works.
