Daniel C. M This movie is one of the most underrated Spaghettis there is and a perfect representation of the genre's core factors. With amazing performances alongside the script that manages to effectively play the viewer like a fiddle, this one is a must-see for every fan. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Audience Member Relatively simple plot, and you can't go wrong with Tomas Milian as the villian. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member From the 10 Movie Collection Spaghetti Western Bible Vol 3. The film stars Richard Wyler as a 'bounty killer'--a term I can't recall having ever heard except in Italian westerns (the correct American term is 'bounty hunter'). He's looking for José Gómez (Tomas Milian)--a guy who has escaped thanks, in part, to assistance from his girlfriend (Zalewska). She believes he's an innocent man and does not realize he's really a two-bit murderer. Having seen a lot of Italian westerns, I find a certain sameness to many of them. Sure, the plots are a bit different--but not remarkably so. It's not a bad western but it also doesn't stand out in any particular way. The music is nice, the action decent and the story reasonably interesting. But, on the other hand there is a certain 'sameness' to the film--as if I'd seen a lot of other films like it. Plus, although Halina Zalewska is absolutely gorgeous in the film, she looks right out of 1967--with lipstick, hair and makeup that you'd never have found on a woman of the late 19th century. Also, while I don't want to see gallons of blood, this was an odd film because you see absolutely none--and this made little sense. Nor, now that I think of it, did the escape--as there is no way all these federal agents could be killed without the bad guys (who were outnumbered) even losing a single man. 3 Stars 11/15/13 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A good solid spaghetti western with Tomas Millan as a great bad guy. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Economically directed by the helmer of Horror Express and shot by Django's cinematographer, this also features a non-typecast Milian and Stelvio Cipriani's debut score. It is refreshingly dialogue and character-driven, but also features many nice exteriors of familiar Almeria locations shot with good depth and foreground details balancing the frame. The gritty close-ups at the ending are memorable. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Thomas Milian as a sadistic Mexican Bandido, it's a really straight forward spaghetti western that doesn't disappoint. However, it doesn't really stand out all that much either, it's mainly the story that separates it from every other western. I'd never really seen a western that had such a strong female lead before, it was actually refreshing in that respect.
