Viewed as a Zapata western this is a minor entry which only pays lip service towards its revolution set subject. Obviously there wasn't much thought spent about our hero sympathising with the revolution and at the same time sabotaging it, so that the story and the content do not work smoothly together. But it's anyway mainly an action vehicle, which works quite well on a moderate level with director Savona getting the best out of the cheap sandpit locations. And for once Anthony Steffen gives a convincing lead (he wears a bigger hat this time than usual) and contrasts nicely with Fernando Sancho (even if he only hams it up in a difficult role) and Ken Wood, who is well cast as a brutish army officer. | Viewed as a Zapata western this is a minor entry which only pays lip service towards its revolution set subject.

Synopsis
Captain Morrison crosses the border into Mexico disguised as the famous Killer Kid to disable the gun running for the revolutionary forces.

Comment
Viewed as a Zapata western this is a minor entry which only pays lip service towards its revolution set subject. Obviously there wasn't much thought spent about our hero sympathising with the revolution and at the same time sabotaging it, so that the story and the content do not work smoothly together. But it's anyway mainly an action vehicle, which works quite well on a moderate level with director Savona getting the best out of the cheap sandpit locations. And for once Anthony Steffen gives a convincing lead (he wears a bigger hat this time than usual) and contrasts nicely with Fernando Sancho (even if he only hams it up in a difficult role) and Ken Wood, who is well cast as a brutish army officer.
