While this film is by no means as good of a film as a Sergio Leone western from the spaghetti western heyday, it is much better than your average spaghetti western from its heyday period. They made many films when these kind of films were popularized by such films as For a Few Dollars More, Django, and Minnesota Clay comparative to the amount of B westerns that Hollywood poured out in the 30's, 40's, and 50's due to the popularity of films such as 'Stagecoach'. Think of it as a spaghetti western slapped into a Robert Rodriguez film. Its quite fun really. Estevez, Forsythe, and Long all give good performances. The script is well written, and somewhat poetic, and beautiful in the end. I would really rate the film really as a 6.5 out of 10 stars, but I gave it a 7 out of 10 since some other users apparently did not think very much of it. You will certainly enjoy it if you are a fan of Emilio Estevez, as I am. I think it is one of his more enjoyable films. He fits the character very nicely.
