QuickView
Story-line: during the occupation of Mexico by French forces (1864-1867), an American mercenary rescues a nun and agrees to escort her.
Pluses: fine performances from an engaging Shirley MacLaine and a tough Clint Eastwood, solid action, competent direction and some really funny moments.
Minuses: none, except for outbursts of violence.
Comments: a suspenseful and amusing ‘buddy movie’ coupling saint and sinner in circumstances where faith needs to be backed by dynamite. As for the mules… don’t ask.
