This film was for Richard Harris what THE COW BOYS was for John Wayne, ten years earlier. Know what I mean? If not, I prefer let you find out by yourself, I don't want to spoil you the film, but there is a BIG surprise in this move and far before the end. For the rest, it's not a bad film, but it can deceive the fans of the franchise and I am glad that Sam Peckinpah was eventually not involved in this project. John Hough was a veteran in the industry and from England, as Richard Harris' character - so why not? And Ridley Scott is also a British film maker - and the directing is not so bad. Only this franchise runs now on empty; there is nothing more to add. Focus instead on the first two films.
