You assume control of John Cooper, bounty hunter and Clint Eastwood wannabe, who takes interest in the money offered by a train company to capture a slew of bandits that have been terrorizing the line. Of course, he reckons he can’t do it by himself so he begins assembling a kind of Wild West A-Team: Sam, a rifle-toting, dynamite-throwing, snake-bagging, B.A. Barakus type; Doc McCoy, a decoy-laying, knock-out-gas-throwing, medically trained sniper; Kate, a garter-showing, sun-deflecting, high-kicking, quick-changing, femme fatale; Sanchez a tequila-toting, bear of a man, who can pick up mounted gattling guns; and Mia Yung (and her monkey sidekick, Mister Leone), who can hide in barrels, and shoot drug-tipped darts. The team members all have their special talents and attributes that when used in concert make a formidable force capable of taking out literally hundreds of enemies during the course of a mission. They also have some of the craziest accents this side of the Pecos.

A few times Sanchez sounds vaguely Cuban rather than Mexican. Cooper tries too hard to be Clint Eastwood, which is not all bad but it fluctuates from heavy raspy to no rasp at all. Thankfully, the music is good on all fronts. There are many different music tracks but they’re all seasoned with the same spice, whatever the situation, and they heighten tension in many situations.
High tension is the name of the game for DWDA
