7/10
An adventure film directed by Luis Bunuel .....
12 February 2016
Dear Luis Bunuel, I am surprised you made a seemingly commercial adventure film like McKenna's Gold. A badass wanderer has to stave off the police (who are in bed with the capitalist mafia), Mexican revolutionaries and a catholic priest. And there are not one but two femme fatales. The wanderer, femme fatales, priest and a cook are all cooped up on a boat as they escape the small town ravaged by fighting between the revolutionaries and the police. Then the action moves to a jungle. Jealousy and suspicion sets in between the members of the group. It is a really nice plot, Luis. One that is worthy of a Western.

And it was reasonably entertaining. There are some pretty grotesque scenes in the jungle. Ruggero Deodato must have been watching your movie. I read some of the other reviews and I thought some of the reviewers saw too much into your film and your intentions.

Best Regards, Pimpin.
