Antonio Das Mortes Movie Review 1968

Antonio is a savage mercenary hired to kill rebels against the Brazilian government. Belatedly he realizes he sympathizes with the targets and turns his guns the other way for an incredible shootout finale. A visually lavish poltical polemic, espousing revolutionary guerrilla action within the format of a South American western. In Portuguese with English subtitles.
