Why it’s a Weeknight Watch
With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of history and war-film fans and anyone looking to switch off and smile. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. Shelve it next to The Ballad of Buster Scruggs or Blazing Saddles.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Zips along, at 1 hr 52 min.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1962: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
Mike, Chip, and Larry are three lusty, brawling U. S. Cavalry sergeants stationed in Indian Territory in 1870.
