Review of Valdez Is Coming (1971) by Allan C — 03 Jun 2009
An enjoyable western which has a good moral story to it! There is also some very good acting from its main stars. There is not that much action in this, but there is a bit. It is also bit slow for the first half hour or so but then the pace shoots right up!
Surprisingly Burt Lancaster is perfect as 'Valdez'. Even more surprisingly he manages to play a very convincing Mexican, even his accent is quite good. Jon Cypher plays an excellent villain so good that you actually end up really hating him.
The ending of the film is something that you will either love or hate and I cannot decide whether I like it or not. It's very unusual and unexpected. Its very anti-climatic but it leaves it up the audience to decide what happens.
Overall a good western with a good story. It lacks a lot of action but has a good pace, and has a great acting from its cast and has an interesting ending.
