Review

By r96sk

Great score and song, but the film itself doesn't quite match those two things.

Elvis Presley stars as the lead in <em>'Charro!'</em>, a western from 1969. The main point of the premise is a promising one, but the execution of it isn't anything all that interesting. The end events are entertaining, it's just the 60-70 minutes leading up to it are very slow. More needed to be added to the story.

Presley himself is alright, I found his performance solid enough. Victor French makes for a decent villain, but neither him, the lead or anyone else really stand out in my thoughts - even shortly after watching.

Not necessarily bad, but not good either.
