i would definitely rent this one before i seriously consider buying it . i have read some of leonard elmore western story and see some of the movie of his book that why i want to see it . and off course i be familiar with burt lancaster ( birdman of alcatraz ) and no comparison by the way . so i have some expectation of it might be pretty good . well it just wasn not and lancaster be try to play a mexican and be accent be down right comical . if he just would have use be own it might have make it a little good to swallow . a for the story it about revenge and and one honor and but it be just way to short and i think the very end be disappointing and no gun fight or even a struggle . it wasn not a horrible movie just not a keeper in my opinion . maybe you will find it to be funny and when you watch a movie that so bad that it funny . 4 star for effort .
