About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a classic Western heist with bickering partners, a colorful crew, and a big action finale; Not for you if you dislike slow setups or formula plots like in The Comancheros.
Pros: fun buddy rivalry; lively action payoff; dry humor banter | Cons: slow build-up; predictable story beats; uneven supporting roles
