Dio li crea... Io li ammazzo!

This spaghetti western has some interest due to the fact that its star was the controversial singer Dean Reed. Unlike some other singers turn actors, Reed does give it his all, but there's still a problem with his performance. His character, while the supposed hero of the movie, is very unlikable. The character is smug and arrogant, and comes across as very annoying throughout. There are additional problems with the movie. The story is slow-moving, and while the running time is less than 90 minutes, all the same feels way too long. Still, there are a few positive things about the movie. The production values are solid, and combined with some interesting locations and some atypical direction, the movie looks and feels a lot different from most spaghetti westerns. But despite this, the movie is only for die hard fans of the genre.

The famous American singer and actor Dean Reed stars in this decent spaghetti western.He plays the role of the sly and adventurous gun-slinger Slim Cobbert who is hired by the mayor of a small town on the Mexican boarder.Somebody has stolen a large sum of money from the local bank and Slim Cobbert has to find out the robbers.A Mexican guy helps him in the investigation.Meanwhile,Slim becomes the most desired man in town and is adored by the young ladies.

Although the plot isn't anything special, the film is worth seeing.It has a nice cast - Dean Reed is convincing as Slim Cobbert and the others do a good job as well.The score is very good and Dean Reed performs the song "God creates them,I kill them" as well.The film has lots of action and good dialogues.

"Dio li crea... Io li ammazzo!"/"God made them....I kill them" is highly recommendable for every spaghetti-western fan and especially for Dean Reed fans.

"Dio li crea... io li ammazzo!" introduces Dean Reed as an unusual hero for the genre. Instead of the bearded, silent stranger Eastwood and Nero portrayed, Slim "il Californiano" (Reed) dances with the ladies, has a kind smile for everyone, likes fancy dress and hardly stops talking. The villain (great: Peter Martell) owns a walking stick with hidden gadgets while the ladies fall in love with young Reed's handsome looks - it's almost a bit like James Bond. But surprisingly, this movie develops step by step into a tough western with the typical ingredients of the time, including quite a lot of violence. Slim is hired to clean up the town, but he's framed for a robbery himself and thrown into prison. His best friend is tortured hanging from the ceiling. But when the going gets tough... you know the tune. So: some oddities, but "Dio li crea..." finally delivers.
