Chris Underwood’s review published on Letterboxd:
After a great opening. with some startling imagery and audacious editing, this seems to slip away. For at least the first third, the film has sufficient narrative structure to withstand the craziness but gradually there are elements of silliness creeping in and by the last third there is almost complete incoherence. Quite needlessly, piles of gold are moved from here to there and divided and fought over without any sense or reason. The appearance of Mr Sorrow, (or is it Zorro?) and his black shirted young men initially seems to be a welcome diversion but in the end this extended homo erotic sequence, complete with a young victim's suicide and eventually a crucifixion scene featuring Tomas Milian well outstays its welcome. As has been mentioned the English dub is atrocious and does perhaps make the dialogue seem worse than it might, but surely there is no excuse for the ‘true love’ declaration by Milian and the crazy lady after about three minutes together. Unusual and can it be that the two Indians that latch on to the stranger, inspired Jodorowsky to make El Topo? They look as if they just stepped out of the film that was albeit made some three years later!
