The Mercenary (1968)
Directed by Sergio
Corbucci this film stars Franco Nero, Tony Mustane, Giovanna Ralli
and Jack Palance. A former Polish officer is hired by Mexican miners
to help them fight in the Mexican Civil War.
The plot of this film
is fairly meandering but full of action set pieces to keep the viewer
entertained. Unfortunately the film has little say about either the
characters or the Mexican Civil War so has no real depth to it. There
is more than a touch of Sergio Leone in at least one sequence but the
film never reaches the heights of the master of the genre.
3/5
