Peter Graves ( Mission Impossible), Tatsura Tamba ( Tiger Tanaka from You Only Live Twice), Bud Spencer ( he of many spaghetti westerns), James Daly and Francesco Castelnuovo star in this MGM Euro western set in the turn of the century featuring a revolutionary storyline ( as was the trend in the late-60's and early 70's) and it's like a Mission Impossible-style western, and what's more fitting than having MI star Mr Graves leading an assorted group of four whose speciality ranges from handling explosives and knife throwing. Their expertises is put in good use: robbing a gold train to finance the revolution.
But it's not totally easy, despite a well-oiled plan. There are some mishaps that occur during the exciting train sequences.
The film is leisurely-plotted, enjoyable from start to finish, however, the last forty minutes is very thrilling and had my red corpuscles going on overdrive. An enjoyable action-fest that has a bit of heart. The Ennio Morricone soundtrack is great, too.
