Plot
Leon Alastray is an outlaw who has been given sanctuary by Father John, whom he then escorts to the village of San Sebastian. The village is deserted, with its cowardly residents hiding in the hills from Indians, who regularly attack the village and steal all their supplies.
Sinekatalog’s take
An outlaw poses as a savior for a deserted village in a western with a large-scale historical sweep. The scenery and Morricone-style grandeur lend weight, though the storytelling is slow and uneven. It will satisfy genre fans who enjoy moral ambiguity in dust and sun.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
