This is an extremely frustrating film.

Hardly an unsung classic of the survival-film genre, but Stuart Whitman has a blast as an apex predator and it's enjoyable as a mid-level exploitation venture.

Schematic but enthralling survival thriller.

Cy Endfield explored similar themes in "Zulu" a year before but this comes off as pulp melodrama of the machismo variety.
