Review of The Reward

The Reward (1965)

Warning: Spoilers
To put it mildly, the film is unrewarding at best.

At times, the film is so slow moving that you can actually start to feel the heat from the desert and you still can't empathize or sympathize with the characters.

The Spanish thespians only speak Spanish so there is the constant need to be reading the English sub-titles below the screen.

Yvette Mimieux mumbles and you know that Fernandez is as greedy as they come and will ultimately want all the reward money in question, no matter what it takes to attain it.

It actually takes a while before you can get the gist of whatever a story there is. Fortunately, for the boy who was accidentally killed, he is not seen in the film.

A very poor imitation of The Treasure of the Sierre Madre.
