Plot: Mexican rebel Pancho Villa (Brenner) lead a revolution helped by an American aviator (Mitchum) imprisoned in Mexico.
Pros: Scenery, Action scenes, Charles Bronson
Cons: Script, Too long, Brenner isn't very Mexican
Villa Rides is a fairly entertaining Western/Historical drama about the Mexican Revolution. Needless to state its cartoon history and entertainment trumps everything. The script isn't very good. Whenever someone starts shooting its pretty interesting. Whenever they stop its dull. The leads don't help. Mitchum looks sleepy and bored - while Yul seems to thinks he's playing the King of Siam with a Mexican accent. The movie is well shot and the scenery pretty. Bronson, and the Mexican actors are solid.
Summary: An average Shoot-em up about the Mexican Revolution with some good action scenes and production values. Rating **1/2
