As Pistolas não Discutem

Pat Garrett (Rod Cameron), the Sheriff of Rivertown, is preparing for his wedding day while the Clanton brothers Billy and George pay a visit to their hometown by robbing the bank during the wedding ceremony. Their plan seems almost foolproof, until George's mask slips and the bankers realize who it is, and older brother Billy doesn't want any living witnesses. After the wedding Garrett and his deputies set off after them who cross the border into Mexico, but Garrett ends up going solo and gets ambushed by the Clantons.

Pat Garrett survives, is horseless but he endures hardship in trying to apprehend the criminals and recovering the stolen money. But capturing the brothers is only the tip of the iceberg for Garrett, as Mexican bandits led by Santero decide to pursue Garrett and his fugitives in an attempt to get recovered money. Braving the harsh desert of the Devil's Valley Garrett evades his pursuers long enough to reach the Goddard ranch where Santero's gang surrounds them and lays siege to the house. Only one party will comes out ofthis alive...

Bullets certainly don't argue in this action-packed western which stars an ageing and paunchy Rod Cameron but the man executes his role with authority and style. He's surrounded by mainly a young cast. It's not just the action - which is top notch - that makes this early Spaghetti westerns great but it's the well-written characters, intelligent dialogue, an engaging plot, enough challenges for the hero and the beautiful desert location. This western is brimming with energy and it ends with a happy ending ... I love happy endings. I wasn't expecting this to be that good - sometimes having low expectations is a good thing.
