7/10
Nice western.

I liked this western firstly because of its Mexican title. 'Charro' is a cool title for a western flick like this. The plot and storyline are well laid out. But I loved the fact there were no portrayals of Natives in it because if there were, they would have viewed with the false, racist stereotypes that Hollywood films have always portrayed them as. Throughout my life, I have only seen TWO films where Natives have been accurately portrayed: 1950's 'Broken Arrow' and 1990's 'Dances with Wolves'. Other than them, Hollywood's portrayals of Natives have always been an embarrassment to Native communities all throughout Turtle Island.

Anyways, getting back to the film itself, I found that Victor French's character's brother acted like a real spoiled brat in and out of jail. He truly deserved that slap across the face courtesy of his older brother because he said the wrong thing. When he was in jail, he still could never keep his mouth shut. I hoped that Elvis would have shut him up for good because he literally gave me a headache. But all in all, this film gets a 7 out of 10.
