Three crooks - Mexican outlaw Moses (Antonio Sabato), cardshark Clay
(John Saxon) and failed actor Keane (Frank Wolff) - find themselves
chasing after the loot of a bank heist, a phenomenal $ 400,000, and event
hough these three don't trust each other one bit, they have to team up
with one another every now and again because the loot changes hands quite
rapidly, bei it with Moses' fiancée (Agata Flori), who pretends to be
pregnant and hides the money in her fake belly, her highly dangerous
outlaw uncle Garrito (Leo Anchóriz), a tourist couple who has no idea the
money even exists, or of course the army. Finally, after a very elaborate
plan that involves Garrito and his gang, our three heroes manage to pull
the money from an army stronghold, but now they all get their hands on the
loot, nobody is to let loose, and before a somewhat fabricated happy
ending, the money gets almost lost, and Moses, Clay and Keane almost kill
each other. This might not be a great film, but it's a fun
comedy Western with many twists and turns that might not exactly be
original but are very well executed, and Antonio Sabato, John Saxon and
Frank Wolff make a very likeable trio of small-fry crooks chasing the big
money. In all, the film might of course be a bit too harmless and
toothless to be a really good Western, but a light-footed direction and a
steadily flowing story at least make an enjoyable comedy out of it - and
that's more than can be said about many Western comedies.
