"Western fans have saddled up often with these desperados. Two tales of grim men sacrificing their own well-being for the safety of an infant they find while on the lam from a bank heist. The gritty Hell's Heroes, says Leonard Maltin's Classic Movie Guide, "is probably the most satisfying and certainly the least sentimental" of the versions. Three Godfathers adds touches of humor to the early pre-heist scenes before settling into the tale's profound power and is described by the Guide as "little-seen and underrated." See it. For this movie and for these six tough hombres, redemption is nigh."--Container.
