A notable western, not because it does anything new or different, but because it seems to care about the characters.

Weak actioner is retitled to make it sound more like a sexploitation flick. What you get is a so-so plot, with some random acting.

CGI driven sci-fi, which proves confusing and full of inconsistencies. All style and little substance.

The third and last of the Colizzi Hill/Spencer collaborations. It has at times an uneasy mix of comedy, western myth-making and gritty drama, but it is still an entertaining film, for all that.
