telly savalas put on a passable ( but no good than that ) performance a pancho villa and the notorious mexican bandit or revolutionary in this account of villa raid on the town of columbus and new mexico in 1916. villa be not really a historical figure who i be overly familiar with and so i would not say much about the historical detail of the film . a a movie and this isn not great and although it have a smattering here and there of both action and humour . chuck connors performance a colonel wilcox and commander of the u. s. army base near columbus strike me a a bit over the top and and clint walker a villa gringo sidekick scotty do not really do very much for me . the movie be obviously a pretty low budget effort of limited technical quality . for a movie with a runtime of only slightly over an hour and a half i have to say that this movie drag in place and particularly in the last 20 minute or so . villa raid into the united state be an interesting ( if and in the overall scheme of thing and not especially important ) historical sidebar and and probably deserve well treatment than this . 4/10 .
