1/10
Hideous Mess Directed By J. Lee Thomson
5 April 2004
Who can blame Omar Sharif for chewing up the scenery as the larger-than-life bandito Colorado? Someone has to appear interesting in the movie. This is unnecessarily violent and altogether stupid shoot-em-up with an impossibly stiff-lipped Gregory Peck in the lead. Ted (Lurch) Cassidy and ever-statuesque Julie ("Catwoman") Newmar get to ham it up as "menacing" minstrel-show Indians. Telly Savalas steals every scene he's in as greed and lust personified. Keenan Wynn looks like he'd be happy enough to collect his paycheck and go home. The stupid script makes no sense whatsoever, and the subtle-as-a-crutch allegory at the end is completely out of place.

Avoid this mess! 1/10.
