This movie manages to pull off one of the rarest of feats- a sequel that's better than the original! The original was "El Zurdo" ("Lefty"), featuring a gunslinger that shoots a card sharp in self defense, takes pity on his young son, and takes him to place into a nice family.
In the sequel, the boy grows up, and is not exactly appreciative of Lefty's kind act. Lefty's one time fiancée raises him and she's left in a very awkward position frequently. The death of her husband and the predatory advances of the owner of a neighboring ranch doesn't help her situation.
I don't think it finishes as strong as all that could have led to, but it was still enjoyable and I was glad I saw it. Very limited release and good luck getting English subs; I had to do my own. If you know Spanish and like Spaghetti Westerns or Ranceros, I'd recommend it.
