"800 Bullets" stars Luis Castro as Carlos, an 11 year old boy who runs away from home to find his grandfather, whom he has only recently discovered is still alive. He finds him working in a rundown theme park that used to be the set used for many of the spaghetti westerns of the 60s and 70s. The park is about to be closed. The actors performing there are only the shadow of what they used to be.
Carlos' mom, who thought he had gone to a ski camp, is enraged when she learns he has gone to visit his grandfather, whom she blames for the death of her husband.
The movie didn't enjoy much success in America, but was popular in Europe. Anyone who grew up watching Clint Eastwood's westerns should enjoy this little fare from Spain.
