A classic Western with a Mexican touch. Story and symbolism are straightforward, and that makes you miss some of the flair Carlos Fuentes and Gabriel García Márquez are known for. A pretty solid movie all around, but the acting sometimes feels wooden. Check it out if you're trying to get into Mexican cinema.
