Big Jake (1971)

A ranch is raided by a gang, who kidnap the owner's eight-year-old grandson after killing and injuring several people. The woman who owns the ranch decides to summon her estranged husband, who has been away for several years, to lead the rescue team.

Routine Western, with some curious touches, fine cinematography, and acceptable action sequences. The curious touches are mostly related to it being set at a later date than usual for the genre, in 1909, which allows for the presence of motor vehicles in it.

Rating: 40
