The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

After the Civil War has ended 5 Confederate soldiers led by "Sergeant Will Hansen" (Chuck Connors) have left the United States in search of a new home somewhere in South America. After being chased out of one country they find themselves caught between two rival armies involved in their own civil war. One side belongs to "General Martinez" (Andres Marquis) who demands that these 5 soldiers spy on his enemy for him or risk death. Not having much choice they agree and ride into the village of San Carlos to gather as much information as they can on the other army led by "Dom Miguel" (Cesar Romero). While doing so a couple of them meet two attractive women named "Maria" (Maria Grimm) and "Carmela" (Nana Lorca) who impact their lives in ways neither man can imagine at the time. Anyway, so much for the plot. As far as the movie was concerned I thought some of the characters were too shallow, the action sequences were rather dull, it wasn't well-written and the story just seemed to fall flat. That said, I honestly wasn't too impressed with the overall finished product and as a result I rate this movie as below average.

*Spoiler/plot- 1972, A small group of post-war Civil War Confederate soldiers become 'soldiers of fortune' in South America in 1870. Dramatic problems occur to them.*Special Stars- Chuck Connors, Cesar Romero *Theme- Sometimes you can't walk away from a fight or war.*Trivia/location/goofs- Mexico shot. Look for many main cast members to be first-time film performers and are being 'Introduced' in the film's credits *Emotion- An enjoyable film, much like a very low budget 'Magnificent Seven' film. Chuck Connors has a wild gypsy lover in this film and an implied sex scene. Unfortunately his character is hanged too early in this film. Cesar Romero's role is classic and well acted.

Chuck Connors and Cesar Romero head an otherwise unknown cast in this tale set in South America in 1870, as Will Hansen (Connors) leads a group of four ex-Confederate soldiers now plying their trade as mercenaries. Hansen is the only member of the band that seems to have any hint of a hard edge, the rest are just a bunch of good old boys with no drive or direction of their own. The South American setting could be just about anywhere since no country is ever named, but it might just as well have been Mexico for the portrayal offered by the two opposing forces. On one side, General Alehandro Martinez offers Hansen and his comrades pay in exchange for information on the opposition in the valley town of San Carlos. Cesar Romero is the mayor there, determined to protect his town, but one wonders from what. The conflict between Martinez and Romero is never made known, maybe that's why Hansen and his men have no emotional involvement in the proceedings.It would be difficult to describe the action in the film - there is none. There are two romantic angles involving Hansen and a gypsy woman, while one of his men named Ike (Aron Kincaid) tries to woo a senorita from the local convent. If the film's pace wasn't slow enough as it was, it's accentuated by the doleful strumming of a guitar from time to time, bringing one's attention to the fact that nothing is going on.All doesn't go well for Hansen though, since he missed his appointment with General Martinez, he'll have to pay for that indiscretion. That prompts his men to think for themselves for the first time, and they take a stand with the citizens of San Carlos. You'll have to watch the film to see how far that goes, but even amidst the flying cannonballs, it's kind of anti climactic. One never feels any empathy for this bunch, and that's what makes the movie largely forgettable.If you're a Chuck Connors fan, you'll be better served by any single episode of his "Rifleman", which will have more story and excitement to it in twenty six minutes than this hour and a half sleeper. The only thing I found interesting in the film was how much Connors appeared to have aged in the decade since the Rifleman series ended. Oh wait, maybe it happened during the filming!

Chuck Connors is featured in this western about a group of American civil war veterans traveling in South America. After being run out of one country they wind up as the "guests" of a Columbian General intent on conquest. In a situation where they don't have a lot of choice, they agree to go to the town of San Carlos to spy out the city and report back to the General. While in San Carlos they wind up being the "guests" of the mayor played by Cesar Romero. Two subplots unfold involving women and the group, leading to predictable conflict and violence, with a surprising twist for the group's leader, played by Connors. Ultimately battle breaks out with elements of treachery and surprise. Marred by some dumb dialog, this film is recommended only for die-hard western lovers.
