Overview

When Quintero, a Mexican revolutionary leader, is left to rot in jail by the forces of President Diaz, it’s up to his subordinate, Max, to bust him out. With $600 in hand, he crosses the border into America and hires Chris Adams, a mercenary of considerable skill, who uses the rest of the cash on more hired guns. After the team is rounded out by experts on close-combat fighting, explosives, and knife-throwing, they set off to free Quintero.

Viewing Notes

Guess I wasn’t the only one watching George Kennedy tonight… but my selection was Guns of the Magnificent Seven (1969) where he enlists the likes of Monte Markham, Joe Don Baker and James Whitmore to save the day. Too bad this iteration isn’t quite up to its predecessors but still good watch.
