Robert Mitchum is well cast in this action yarn. He plays a machine gun toting, hard drinking priest in a central American country. He is paired with an Irish terrorist and a gun runner when saved at the last minute from a firing squad. Together they must assassinate the leader of the local revolution. Mitchum plays the renegade priest role to the hilt, with numerous one liners. The film almost veers into comedy at times. However, it seems too long, mainly due to a subplot involving the Irishman and his Indian lover.
