Valdez is Coming
Adapted from an Elmore Leonard novel, the script is hardly subtle or original and it never makes the gaping chasm between the search for justice and the bloody reign of terror work in any dramatic terms. It's a rather amorphous morality tale without a solid grounding, but it's dutifully violent, charged with righteous anger, and makes good use of the stark landscape (it was shot in Spain, giving it even more of the flavor of a spaghetti Western). It's a bit embarrassing how Hollywood puts the spotlight on racism by casting a white actor to play the wronged minority, but Lancaster creates a wonderful character in Valdez. With gentle eyes and a tired smile behind a face covered in brown Hollywood makeup, he brings sure-footed authority and calm ruthlessness to a mission of justice by a man wronged one too many times. --Sean Axmaker

Not Lancaster's best!
Really enjoy the old flicks - but this was not Lancaster's best - he shines brightly in many other films.

Valdez is Coming
I would normally give this movie four or five stars. Considering the fact the studio that has released this version cut some major scenes I cannot in good conscience give it that rating. I am not sure why in the world you would cut some of the...

Rip Off!! Beware

Puzzled: until I read the reviews
Watching this, before reading the reviews, I was mystified. The cutting made it seem surreal, and the strange jumps in the storyline were oddly bewildering. The ending didn't help, and I was left feeling baffled, although it was certainly exciting...
