This is one of several "Coplan" movies made in the 1960s, all of them with a different male lead in the title role. This one stars Lang Jeffries, who is one of the best actors to work regularly in this genre, and it also frequently tries to be arty and ambitious (the scene of the discovery of the first corpse is almost Hitchcockian), but on the whole it is quite formulaic and forgettable. I will admit, though, that the villains' master plan may be far-fetched, but it is also quite logical in a comic-book way. Finally, I may be spoiling the film by saying that the English title - "Mexican Slayride" - is very accurate; at the end Coplan may be the only important character in the film left alive! ** out of 4.
