The famous opening scene, an uninterrupted two minute tracking shot that bridges the US and Mexican borders, is almost enough to recommend this movie on it own. But then consider the cast of characters Welles assembled: Heston, Leigh, Dietrich, all giving masterful performances. As usual, it is Welles himself who steals the show.Welles himself is made to look huge. He was already a bit overweight anyway, but the camera angles used and make-up only serve to emphasis his bulk. He plays Hank Quinlan a crooked plice chief. The other main characters are Charlton Heston as Vargas a Mexican Policeman and Janet Leigh is his wife Susan Vargas. Both are excellent. From the famous oprning tracking shot, which lasts over 3 minutes, through to the ending this is a dark tale of corruption and drugs. The story is set right on the border between the U.S and Mexico so you are continually unsure about jurisdiction. You will have to concentrate when watching this.
