The Violent Ones

Although this Western isn't very good, its interesting for one of David Carradine's early performances. He plays one of three men accused of raping a young girl in a small New Mexico town. Fernando Lamas overplays the Mexican sheriff that has to find out who raped the girl, because the town's people are vengeful and ready to go a-lynchin'. Carradine shows that bad-guyness was one of his strong points as an actor even in his early years: at one point he keeps referring to the sheriff as "Mex," clearly getting under the poor man's skin. The film itself is kind of a bland drive-in type picture that would've played better on television. Aldo Ray also stars.
