Plot: I saw the 2007 DVD re-release of this and the print is great and the subtitles are excellent.It's a pretty obvious, "Hey, Why isn't Mexico producing Spaghetti Westerns?" take, but I think it works. It's a bit kitsch in its imitations in some ways, but the character development is actually better than the average SW, and so, I think it works.The protagonist is much more complicated than the usual fare, and that works. Gunplay is OK; I think fans of the genre will want to see this. Well worth owning, IMHO.Another line.Another line.
