Villa Rides (1968)
5/10
Macho movie!
20 August 2018
Get ready for a macho, macho movie! Starring Yul Brynner as Poncho Villa, Charles Bronson as his trigger-happy sidekick, and Robert Mitchum as the American accidentally caught in the middle of the Mexican Revolution, there's no room for any estrogen in this action flick!

Well, that's not exactly true. While Charles is completely content killing people, Bob quickly gets attached to Maria Grazia Buccella. After a brutal attack on the town leaves Maria ruined in the worst way, Yul shows the soft side of his heart. He feels personally responsible for Maria's traumatic incident, so to help her hold her head up in the community and show his remorse for what the soldiers did, he marries her. How is this a testosterone-fest? Don't worry, guys. If you think Villa Rides turns into a girly movie, that's not the case. It's a very manly movie with constant gunfire and action. If you like the stars and the setting, you won't be disappointed.

Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, since there may or may not be a rape scene, I wouldn't let my kids watch it.
