Reaction: Making a profit on a Western is always impressive. No doubt a cast of rising stars like Ehrenreich and Sheridan helped put butts in the seats.

"What the plot lacks in originality, it more than makes up for with its colorful characters and enjoyable action scenes. Scott Cooper is a director that can get too caught up in details and mood, but here he avoids that and keeps the film moving at a pretty brisk pace, despite the length." - Charles Triano, Los Angeles Times

"All the pieces are there for an entertaining western, but one big problem is the lack of motivation for the main characters. Dunnison (Ehrenreich) gets some part way through the film, but he had already joined up with the Texas Rangers by that point. It just wasn't enough to keep me emotionally invested." - Sara Karlsson, Willamette Week

"Every so often it is announced that the Western genre is dead, but then a film like Ranger comes along and proves those naysayers wrong. The western is here to stay, and with more films like this the genre could very well thrive once again." - Samuel O'Brien, Sight and Sound Magazine
