About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a sprawling, old-school treasure-chase Western with big landscapes and constant pursuit, somewhat in the epic-adventure vein of The Guns of Navarone; Not for you if you need tight plotting and modern realism.

Pros: gorgeous desert scenery; big-name cast; pulpy adventure energy | Cons: choppy, disjointed story; uneven acting; dated effects
