This summer I have been detailing some of the films I have been watching-- mainly Westerns like The Dollars Trilogy, Hang Em High, and Days of Wrath but also others like The Shape Of Things To Come and John Wick. I haven't written about EVERY film I have watched this summer, but it's a good habit to get into.

Big expectations from the get-go!

"Rio, his mentor Dad Longworth, and a third man called Doc rob a bank of two saddlebags of gold in Sonora, Mexico, in 1880." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-Eyed_Jacks

This starts out as a bank robbery and this villian is taking jewellery off womans hands.

His band of thieves, leaving what looks like a poor village in Mexico.

Now he is at his Mexican girlfriends place and she asks if he plans to make a home in Mexico, but he says that home is anywhere he can throw his saddle. She asks about work and he talks talking about how he moves money around at the bank.
