average, entertaining Eurowestern with an excellent music score
This is a fairly decent spaghetti western that is elevated by having a fantastic music score.
Fidenco's score is definitely one of the better Eurowestern soundtracks, and one I'd like to find on a CD if it is available. It's got spaghetti style in spades, is very catchy, and is sure to please anyone who loves spaghetti western music.
The movie has plenty of action, but lacks the operatic drama of the great revenge/showdown Eurowesterns. It's about 3 soldiers and a bounty hunter working together to bring down a large gang of Mexican outlaws headed by an insane fool who calls himself El Supremo. He is little more than a clown, and it makes you wonder why his gang doesn't just do away with him and pick a new leader. He is kind of amusing though, and definitely better than the usual type of comic relief characters one sometimes sees in these films.
The story is nothing groundbreaking, but is entertaining enough to keep one interested from start to finish. It's got lots of action, explosions, machine gunning, and some humorous moments.
There is one part of this that just didn't work for me. It is when Johnny Garko has a gun hidden under an umbrella, and it turns out to be a machine gun that is way too small and light for the era in which the story takes place. This type of gun wouldn't exist for at least another 50 years! I can understand poetic license, but this really didn't add anything to the movie. They should have just made it a rifle.
The acting from Garko and the rest of the cast is pretty solid for this type of film. No real complaints there.
Overall, it's a fun film worth watching for spaghetti western fans. Just relax with a cold beer, a bowl of popcorn, and don't take it too seriously.
