As Renfield sucks the blood from his finger, commenting: "It's just a scratch," Dracula looks hungrily at him with an approving grin.The co-pilot revived and continued to beat at Richard.In the cockpit, the pilot's dead body slumped onto he controls and the jet went into a deep dive, as the two combatants continued to struggle with each other.Please bring Daddy back.The camera shot dissolves slowly upward into the star-filled, dark night sky where two pulsating galaxies of light come into view.Themes of betrayal, corruption, fatalism and a cynical, perverse, and a morally ambiguous atmosphere are all interwoven and entangled together in a confusing and convoluted dark plot (mixing narrative flashback with linear narrative) with both double- and triple-crosses.Out of step, out of place and desperately out of time...Suddenly a new West had emerged.Suddenly it was sundown for nine men.Suddenly their day was over.Suddenly, the sky was bathed in blood...Nine men who came too late and stayed too long...Born too late for their own imes.Uncommonly significant for ours.The much-imitated, influential film is book-ended by wo extraordinary sequences, both massacres.The gang of desperadoes are first assaulted in the film's opening ambush following a failed bank robbery in a Texas border town, and then brutally destroyed in the film's conclusion - as united comrades in a selfless, redemptive act - by a savage and vindictive Mexican warlord after a double-crossing arms deal.
