Valdez Is Coming - 3/4

Burt Lancaster playing a Mexican in his fifties on a revenge mission. Essentially it’s about a man trying to right a terrible wrong and the obstacles he must overcome in order to achieve it, but it’s filled with well written violence and the odds are so laughably insurmountable that it makes Die Hard look perfectly reasonable. I like revenge movies, every impressively physical actor should do one.

Lawman - 2.5/4

Burt Lancaster in a bloody violent Michael Winner directed western. It’s about a man who is rigidly bound by ethics and who refuses to consider morality before he fires his gun. It’s basically a less refined Valdez with the blood coming a lot cheaper and with less class. Burt Lancaster is tremendous in it and you can clearly see the top billed actors doing the hard work. Robert Ryan is somebody I have really grown to respect after watching him in so many of these films lately. He might be the poor man’s Henry Fonda at times, but he had his own style and man did he make some great movies.
