Along with an eccentric music score, this film plays like any other Eastwood flick but things take an amusing turn by showing the odd and awry interaction between a discarded nun and a lonely desperado. With his own life story of gunfights to write, things are rough between them at first, but a man is likely to develop sentiments for a woman, even a nun. Sadly, I felt the story didn't focus on this humor enough.
This was a bond that could've been a classic one, and the film tries to force it later on, but clearly the magic is already lost because the film reduces itself into a forgettable shooting gallery with basic characters that remain untapped. Simple can work, and it does for most of Eastwood's films, but the mere premise of this one deserves complexity. After an impressive train explosion, the film stagnates into dullness. I was glumly disappointed.
