| John Smith is an amoral gunslinger in the days of Prohibition. On the lam from his latest exploits, he happens upon the town of Jericho, Texas. Actually, calling Jericho a town would be too generous--it has become more like a ghost town since two warring gangs have driven off all the decent folk'. Smith sees this an opportunity to play both sides off against each other, earning himself a nice piece of change as a hired gun. Despite his strictly avowed mercenary intentions, he finds himself risking his life for his sense of honor... |

| "Remake of Yojimbo is rife with gunplay, but overcome by sheer boredom." -- Leonard Maltin |
|
|
|
|
"The movie is a bloody monotony of gunfire and blasted flesh." -- Rita Kempley, Washington Post |
