Overview

At the beginning of the 1913 Mexican Revolution, greedy bandit Juan Miranda and idealist John H. Mallory, an Irish Republican Army explosives expert on the lam from the British, fall in with a band of revolutionaries plotting to strike a national bank. When it turns out that the government has been using the bank as a hiding place for illegally detained political prisoners—who are freed by the blast—Miranda becomes a revolutionary hero against his will.

Viewing Notes

I digested Sergio Leone’s sprawling Mexican Revolution epic, Duck, You Sucker (aka A Fistful of Dynamite), and it was quite a ride, albeit a long one at 2.5+ hrs. It’s not nearly a good as the Dollars Trilogy but it’s good in the purpose it serves. Rod Steiger is really great. And Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack is awesome, natch.
