this film be for people who like character and who like to think . burt lancaster valdez ( beautifully underplay ) try hard to do the right thing and but racism from a cold and cowardly jon cypher and practically every other white person force him to get justice the hard way . i would not want to be the one in bob valdez way or in his gun site . i would be pretty happy and though and if valdez have blow off r l davis ( richard jordan ) head and because he be one slimy little creep of a coward who richly deserve it . the end be disappoint if you want to watch the film and forget about it and terrific if you want to keep think about it like i do . get to watch this one again .
