Clint Eastwood is at his peak in both the films and so is the ...

They arrive at the front and try crossing the line of the opposing forces in order to try and find gold that is hidden in an unmarked grave. While looking for the gold he comes across a bath, which was once a hotel but had now become a wreck. He then decides to use it. There ... Read review

All in all a great movie to watch. ... Read review
