One of the best Zapata western with lots of action n explosions.

Rating: 7/10 (29 May 2020)

Saw this for the first time recently, the original 157 mins with Eng subs.
Honestly i did not enjoy this as compared to other Leone's films but the comic timings of Steiger n the screen presence of Coburn made it watchable.
A rapist Mexican thief and an ex-Irish Republican Army revolutionary join hands to rob a bank but involuntarily gets inducted in the Mexican revolution.
Although the last train blast scene looked very fake of that of a wooden train toy, but the film is loaded with action, specially the explosions n artillery guns' scenes reminded me of Rambo.
The film is a lil tedious, apart from the two lead characters, none of the others r memorable, the villains r not given enuff time n ther r no showdowns like most western films. The flashbacks scenes were lousy as two men run behind a woman n later one by one they both smooch her, wtf man.
Steiger's role reminded me of Eli Wallach throughout the film but he acted good.
