Hayden is shot in the back by partner de Corsia during a bank holdup. Left for dead, Hayden recovers with the help of Duncan, and goes out to avenge his betrayal. A predictable film buried in cliches--they could just about be marked off on a checklist. The screenplay gives the males the
standard stuff and the females hardly anything to do at all. The title is also misleading; no gun battle occurs at Monterey. Technically it's okay for what it is, which isn't much at all.
