Villa Rides (1968)
Directed by Buzz Kulik
this film stars Yul Brynner, Robert Mitchum and Charles Bronson. An
American pilot running guns across the border gets caught up in the
Mexican revolution.
While no doubt this
film has some departures from historic events what it does do is have
a balanced depiction of the revolutionaries being a much more warts
and all piece. There are enough decent action sequences to keep
viewers entertained and while it is ultimately hard to take this as a
serious look at history it is still an entertaining watch. Mexico
provides some good scenery as a back drop and there are decent
performances from the cast even if Yul Brynner with hair looks odd.
3/5
