Throw some "b" movie actors into a not fully developed revenge plot, and what you get is "Macho Callahan". This filmed in Mexico western has David Janssen, Jean Seberg, Lee J. Cobb, David Carradine, and Bo Hopkins trying their best to imitate the fast dying genre known as "spaghetti westerns". It certainly has the feel of an Italian "oater", with little character development, choppy editing, and revenge as a motive. The difference here is that the script starts out good in a revolting Confederate prison that Janssen escapes from, but then after Jean Seberg puts her bounty on Janssen for killing her husband, things get talky, and the film loses steam minute by minute. Don't expect much more than a slightly above average "spaghetti" type western, and it's watchable, but just barely. Interestingly the VHS box has the running time listed at 2 hours, 39 minutes. Thankfully this is incorrect, because 99 minutes was more than enough of "Macho Callahan" - MERK
