Plots(1)
Mexico, 1912. An Arizona lawman named Lyedecker travels to a remote village looking for Yaqui Joe, a half-Indian, half-white bank robber who's stolen $6,000 to buy rifles for his besieged brethren. His people are fighting the Mexican government, which has set out to annihilate them. But Lyedecker could care less. He wants the money returned to its rightful place -- a Phoenix bank within his jurisdiction -- and he'll stop at nothing to make sure that happens. (official distributor synopsis)

At times it is strangely bland, at times it is a great action film with a lot of good to great things. Especially the duo of Jim Brown and Burt Reynolds, Goldsmith's (another) unforgettable score, and everything that happens in the final quarter, during which I was reminded at times of The Wild Bunch (from the same year). The overall impression was spoiled mainly by Raquel Welch, who looked great under the running water, but apart from this scene I couldn't find any other scene in the film where she had to "act".

Western, which apparently has a few essential filmmaking moments. The main role was played by the black actor Jim Brown, who seemed out of place, but as an unbiased person in Black Lives Matters, it didn't offend me in any way. Then there was also the unusually sharp Raquel Welch who left no one indifferent at that time. However, the theme is an endless battle with Mexicans, where mass scenes stand out.
