After the dollar trilogy by Sergio Leone, Clint Eastwood had reached the top as the new western icon. It is a fact that with said trilogy he had managed to reach the next level after his beginnings in the Rawhide series. Two Mules For Sister Sara was the next film that sought to further expand the fame that Eastwood had managed to achieve. This may be one of Eastwood's weakest films, but it has a certain charm that makes it stand out alongside the actor's other films. The idea of a mercenary and a nun united by a mission linked to the revolution is something not seen in other films, so it is appreciated that the film offers something that feels original and makes the film unique in its own way. The title seems to announce that this is a comedy, but it's really no different than other westerns and only has a bit of subtle humor. It doesn't have much to expect, but the way Hogan and Sara develop their relationship is good. The way they're going to end already seems somewhat predictable or cliché, but at least the twist about who Sara is actually helps somewhat. One thing about this film that stands out quite a bit is the soundtrack by Ennio Morricone, which becomes unforgettable. Two Mules For Sister Sara fails to be one of Clint Eastwood's best films, but it manages to generate fascination with the chemistry of its two protagonists. My final rating for this movie is an 8/10.
