In the Professional plot there is a group of heroes rather than an individual and the group’s goals may be more focused on rewards than virtue. Examples of this variation include some of Louis L’Amour’s books in the Sackett series as well as the films The Wild Bunch and The Magnificent Seven."<br /><br />And, of course, "The Professionals." ;) I just binged "The Mandalorian" many of the Western "homages" are barely disguised. Still loved it, weaknesses and all.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05414687981098467556noreply@blogger.com
