Duck You Sucker

[Malcolm]

Synopsis:
You, the lucky cinema goer, have another chance to bow at the altar of Sergio Leone. I have yet to see a bad movie of his.

Review:

At about 2.5 hours, this might seem long. However, this is balanced out by Sergio's goddamned awesome long shots without dialog. When the flick moves slow, it's because he uses those scenes like a valve to ratchet up and\or release tension.

Anyhow, Rod Steiger plays a bandit in early 20th century Mexico during the more festive, revolutionary days. James Coburn is an Irish demolitions expert fresh off his own revolution with the English. Steiger tries to manipulate Coburn into helping him rob a bank. James tricks Rod into becoming a "hero of the people."

Verdict:
Solid, quality flick. Check it out.

This movie is actually called, "Duck You, Sucker?"

[Malcolm]

Technically it's Duck, You Sucker! The phrase is repeated throughout the film.

Ahhh, that's a little less silly. With my internal comma placement it sounded like a 70's Blaxploitation, then you said spaghetti western set in mexico. I was like, "wha?"
