The Professionals

Watched The Professionals. Decent western. Story builds well and the characters are solid with subtleties. Not going to tell everyone they have to watch it. Like I said, decent. If you enjoy westerns you will probably like it.

But in a history of cinema where script writers often screw things up, this one has ending dialogue that rivals the perfection of Casablanca with perfect delivery by Lee Marvin as Rico.
J.W. Grant: You bastard!
Rico: Yes, Sir. In my case an accident of birth. But you, Sir, you're a self-made man.
