This movie didn't use the acting skill of Richard Harris, Rod Taylor or the other actors. I knew what was going to happen before it did. Don't bother.

perfect dble feature with sam pechinpah's 'the wild bunch' this owes a big debt to the 1969 hit western that was also extremely bloody and violent.

Violent revenge western focusing on a once pacifist sheriff now out for blood at any cost. Harris plays well in the lead, and shows great range as his character goes through an entire array of emotions. Examines questions of morality, duty and justice in believing fashion. Smells like (and unfolds) like spaghetti, even though it really isn't. Great supporting villains, too - including one with a piece of railroad track for a hand. Good, but short of great.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Turns absurdly misogynistic when it goes South of the border.
