Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for action fans. If you loved Silverado or Batman Begins, start here.
The mood: Exciting.
The pace: Fast-moving, at 1 hr 45 min.
What might put you off: Rated PG: peril. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Made in 1969: an older pace and style.

At the behest of local revolutionaries, a mercenary enlists four specialists in various combat styles to help him rob a Mexican Army train carrying $500,000 in gold.
