Okay entertainment, but haven't we been down this road before?

Charge! (it's English title) is a breezy and colorful but unoriginal adventure about a team of Army specialists who team up with a blonde Muslim bounty hunter (!) to locate a cache of guns and an officer's daughter that were taken by a violent band of Mexican revolutionaries. Their only hope to finding them rests on their ability to track a wily bandit back to their base of operations.

This has some good gun battles and a rowdy barracks brawl but the well-worn plot's too loose and conventional to be too entertaining. However, it's not boring. It's rugged enough to satisfy most fans of Italian westerns and there's some interesting scenery.

The score is pretty good too, with a theme song co-written and sang by it's star Stephen Boyd!
