A solid action effort starring James Coburn (which makes it one of his best efforts then).
However it's Sophia Loren who is top of the bill, nearing the end of her run as a headline star, she's looking older but on the plus side, she's also looking slimmer than she did in "Arabesque" and thin fabric & cleavage are back on the menu!
James Coburn plays a updated version of his character in "A Fist Full Of Dynamite" i.e. with a preference for blowing things up rather than shooting things up.
OJ Simpson has a good role as the side kick (but for those who can't separate the man from the character, don't worry, he gets machine gunned, burnt and blown up in the end!)
Ellie Wallach, Vincent Gardenia and Jake LaMotta provide some class among the supporting cast.
And it's nice to see the much maligned Victor Mature (the Sly Stallone of the 50s) in a small cameo.
