8/10
Italian western at its sarcastic best
10 April 2011
It's a pleasure to watch this movie because it's hero has a clear and direct plan, no messing around. Bill Kiowa (Brett Halsey) is released from prison and wants revenge on Elfego (intense villain: Japanese actor Tatsuya Nakadai), the killer of his wife. He looks for the best gunmen he can find (played by William Berger, Bud Spencer, Wayde Preston and Chet Davis), then searches for Elfego and his bandits to challenge them. Simple, but extremely effective. Brett Halsey does an excellent 'silent stranger' job, obviously following the footsteps of 'Django' Franco Nero, also in his outer appearance. The scenes are very well arranged, sarcastic Italian western style at its best. For example, when Bill purchases a gun - without saying a word - then shoots two guys in front of the store, and the owner says what a great gun that is, and he'll order some more of the same type. Professional attitude, isn't it? Another example is when Wayde Preston's character, the sheriff of a town, is joining Bill's team. He simply makes a prisoner new sheriff so he can leave town. So much for law, two sides of the same coin, one might say. Supported by the powerful musical score A.F. Lavagnino composed, 'Oggi a me, domani a te!" is a very recommendable tough flick.
