Mike Haberfelner

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.
