Distant Drums (1951)

An Army outfit sets out to destroy a fort where guns are being sold to the Seminole. The soldiers are chased and must enter the dangerous Everglades in order to escape the ferocious natives.

Mediocre adventure, a Western in style, although it is not set in the American West. The location shooting gives a certain amount of distinction to this film which its script alone would not be able to provide. It is faster paced than usual for the Western genre, at least in the first half. The second half slows down a little bit.
