Shalako

... A western adventure clearly indebted to the 1967 Paul Newman film Hombre.

Strong action on a very wide screen from mid-front row turns out to be quite wonderful.

Edward Dmytryk's Shalako is a disappointment from this veteran action director, whose recent "Anzio" was a cut above most war epics.

At least the premise was cute.

Dmytryk constri um clima crescente de tenso, sendo auxiliado na tarefa por Connery, que convence como veterano do Oeste americano. No entanto, o final anti-climtico compromete a produo.
