Run, Man, Run

Run, Man, Run, a sequel to The Big Gundown, is an Italian-French Zapata Western film. It is the second film of Sergio Sollima focused on the character of Cuchillo, again played by Tomas Milian. It also stars Donal O'Brien, Linda Veras, and John Ireland. Ennio Morricone composed the score without credit. I watched it free on Vudu.

I have not always been a fan of the Western genre -having gotten sick to death of them back in the days of Bonanza, Gunsmoke, and such- but as an adult they have grown on me. There's a great deal of variety.

Spaghetti Western Database describes it this way:

Although less complex than Sollima's other westerns, Run Man Run is a perfect example of Sollima’s special approach to character: his movies are often about people who change - discover their true nature - under difficult circumstances. The Big Gundown had shown the development of Cuchillo Sanchez from a peon into a social bandit who forced Lee van Cleef's ambitious bounty hunter Jonathan Corbett to make 'a choice of classes': he must either chose sides with the poor innocent guy, or with the corrupt rich people who could help him with his political career. In Run Man Run it is Cuchillo Sanchez, the running man, who is changed for the better by the circumstances and the people he encounters. In the course of the movie, Cuchillo changes from a vagabond and petty thief into a future revolutionary hero.
