100 Rifles

About This Movie

100 Rifles brings a gritty, rugged atmosphere, mixing action with deeper themes of racial tension and rebellion. Burt Reynolds as Yaqui Joe embodies that tough, antihero spirit, while Jim Brown delivers a strong performance as the lawman caught in a moral quandary. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it kind of mirrors the chaotic nature of the conflict. The film's practical effects and shootouts have a rawness that feels authentic, especially for a late '60s western. Plus, the scenery is just beautiful, capturing that dusty, sun-soaked landscape. It's not your typical shoot-em-up; there’s a sense of history and cultural clash woven into the narrative that makes it stand out.

Released by 20th Century Fox. · Filmed in Mexico, showcasing stunning landscapes. · Features a rare interracial romance for its time. · Includes a notable score by composer Jerry Goldsmith.
