      delysid d Those were the good old days, when you could have a nice wholesome massacre and no one would complain Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/15/19 Full Review Audience Member While far from the pinnacle of spaghetti westerns, ‘The Brute and the Beast’ is a gritty revenge flick with the fabulous Franco Nero. It’s a little bit slow at times, but the shootouts and chases are pretty solid and definitely warrant a watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/31/18 Full Review Audience Member A strong and gritty spaghetti Western winner from Lucio Fulci--Rare Western From the Godfather of Gore!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member 130427: It's funny how tastes and opinions differ. Flixster's synopsis makes this out to be a classic. Perhaps if compared to all spaghetti westerns? And my opinion of the first sequence is totally opposite of Conner R's. I figure if you can get by the first ten, the rest of this film is pretty good. It's classic spaghetti and contains many of the features that make such films fun. Lots of silly action and one classic tactic by Corbett (the somersault to land behind three bad guys). Speaking of "Corbett", that's Franco Nero, star of Django. Perhaps this film is a classic as they consider Django one. Made me smile. Definitely worth a one watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The meaning of revenge...great spaghetti film with very good stunt scenes! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best spaghetti westerns and probably Lucio Fulci's best western overall. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
