The movie is a waste of time, cliche-ish, unhistorical, and pure junk. Of course if you are into Westerns where the heroes never miss a shot, and the Indians run around in circles till they're hit, then you might like this movie. Just replace the Indians with Mexicans.

I recently received Vera Cruz from my netflix cue. Spent part of my afternoon watching it, and thought it was well worth the time. The movie includes strong leads (Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster), an interesting story, engaging dialog and plenty of action. I particularly liked the end sequence with the battle scene. Plenty of other reviewers cover the general plot and details, so no need for them to repeat them here. The overall quality of the filming is not great which is a shame given that the ... Read More

"Vera Cruz," produced by Hecht-Lancaster and directed by Robert Aldrich, makes a fun movie for a Saturday afternoon. Over-bright colors (especially Lancaster's teeth!) and stiff acting (except for Burt, who's over the top) give it an unreal quality. (Only Caesar Romero seems to be having fun.) But the film has other interesting aspects. It is an early example of the fascination of some gringos with Mexico's revolutions. ("The Magnificent Seven" and "The Professionals" and "The Wild Bunch" are ... Read More

A great movie/western. Gary Cooper is great as always but I have to say this movie had to have been written for Burt Lancaster. It's the first time I can say he fit his part to a tee and did a really good job at acting. They made a great pairing of the two for this movie. A total enjoyment and a "must add" to your movie collection.

From virtually the opening scene, this celluloid comic book will take you right back to Saturday afternoons with the smell of popcorn, flying paper cups, noisy things rolling down the aisles and the kid behind with his feet at the back of your head. This is NOT a "mature" western. The quick-draw, eagle-eyed feats of shooting have to be seen to be believed (if you're 10 years old), the story line, dialogue, and multi-colored ranks of Mexican federales who serve as targets, all provide an aura around ...

"You're the first friend I ever had," grins flamboyant mercenary Burt Lancaster to lean, laconic Gary Cooper with a smile that suggests that he may be the last. They're a pair of Americans abroad looking to cash in on the Mexican revolution by selling their services to the highest bidder in this energetically cynical south-of-the-border Western. They meet cute, conning, robbing, and out-witting one another in a bit of one-upmanship that bonds the men in mutual admiration, and then team up to escort a royal convoy through revolutionary country. When they discover its secret stash of gold bullion, they revert to their old way, selling out anyone it takes to get the treasure for themselves, even each other. Played out as a seat-of-the-pants con game of shifting alliances and double crosses, this is a cheerfully ruthless tale that served as a veritable blueprint for the Italian spaghetti Westerns of the 1960s. Director Robert Aldrich has a real flair for turning rogues and opportunists into deviously riveting characters, and went on to work the same sort of magic on Kiss Me Deadly and The Dirty Dozen. The cast of character actors features Ernest Borgnine, Charles Bronson, and Jack Elam in the gang, George Macready as Emperor Maximilian, and Henry Brandon as the martinet German captain Danette. --Sean Axmaker
