An ex police chief organizes a bank robbery with 3 ex cons. John Payne is implicated by circumstance roughly treated by the police and released. He seeks revenge and tracks down one of the robbers in Mexico.
The first 30 minutes of this movie are fantastic and I believed I had stumbled on something unbelievably good but once the action moves to Mexico it begins to lull more and more--with just enough twists to keep your interest. The denouement is an anticlimax of sorts.
I agree with another reviewer...the robbers do nothing to conceal their identity in Mexico wearing flashy suits. In fact the whole Mexican hotel scene including the addition of the daughter is somewhat squirrelly. There seems to be an endless supply of small hand guns and fatal situations are defused in unbelievable ways.
I don't really care for John Payne, he looks too respectable and middle class for these roles--he looks like the president of the local Rotary Club--plus he is a slightly wooden actor.
RECOMMEND
