Two Mules for Sister Sara (Don Siegel, 1970)

7/10
Above-average, entertaining Clint Eastwood Western. Eastwood's character has more of a personality than usual and he has pretty good chemistry with Sister Sara (Shirley MacLaine). Ironic because I just read on IMDB that MacLaine didn't get along with Eastwood during shooting.
Anyway the movie is at its best for the first half when Eastwood and MacLaine's characters are the focal point, once the focus shifts to the capturing of the garrison it becomes less interesting and a bit more plodding...and the "twist" could be seen a mile away (they did foreshadow it heavily) but still, good movie that kept me entertained.
