Because you are a character does not mean you have character

The Five Man Army (1969)

Directed by Don Taylor this film stars Peter Graves, Bud Spencer, James Daly, Nino Castelnuovo and Tetsuro Tamba. A group of stock characters is assembled to rob a train in Mexico during the revolutionary period.

I only checked out this film as it was co-written by Dario Argento and sadly the script and plot are not up to much. This is a standard heist film with paper thin characters and no thematic depth. About the best thing you can say about this film is that it is not terribly made but beyond that it is not a classic of the genre.


2/5
