The film packs violence , continuous shootouts , high body-count , and it's fast moving and quite entertaining. The movie gets the ordinary Western issues, such as avenger antiheroes , violent facing off and exaggerated baddies. Dealing with a former bounty hunter called Talion (Robert Lansing) is away from his farm with many enemies who still want him dead. Three wanted men, Ike Slant (Slim Pickens) and the Beetson brothers (Henry Wills, Jerry Gatlin), burn Talion's farm after killing his wife and son. As Talion returns to see his house ablaze and his family dead. He then sets-out to track the bad guys to kill them. On the way Talion teams up with a younger one, Benny Wallace (Patrick Wayne), who also is tracking the Slant gang. One man's eyes ...another man's hands ...between them they held the strangest gun in the west!. The Ultimate Revenge. Between them they held the strangest gun in the west!
There is plenty of action in the movie with quick scenes, guaranteeings gun-play, Western action, thrills and bloody spectacle and stunts every few minutes . It's an exciting western with breathtaking showdown between the starring: Robert Lansing, Patrick Wayne against their enemies: Slim Pickens, Strother Martin, Jerry Gatlin , among others . Robert Lansing is fine as a veteran bounty hunter who goes out to track down and kill the wanted gang leader who murdered his wife and little boy, while Patrick Wayne is nice as the young who seeks personal recognition in front of his legendary father who is none other than Wyatt Earp. Both of whom strike an enjoyable friendship, the development of this peculiar relationship is the best part of the film. The main novelty here is that the movie stars two crippled gunmen, on the one hand, one of them has a broken hand and on the other hand, the other is blind, but both complement each other's disabilities. Screenplay with interesting premise about a 'blind gunfighter', though its origin results to be a Japanese series starred by ¨Zaitochi¨, a blind swordsman from the 60s and being subsequently remade by Takeshi Kitano . This interesting theme about a blind gunslinger is also treated in other films such as ¨The Blindman¨ by Ferdinando Baldi with Tony Anthony and Ringo Starr , ¨Blind Justice¨ by Richard Spence with Armand Assante and ¨Minessota Clay¨ by Sergio Corbucci with Cameron Mitchell. An agreeable secondary casting with full of western familiar faces, such as: Slim Pickens, Gloria Talbott , Paul Fix, Jerry Gatlin . Special mention for Strother Martin in his ordinary role as a treacherous and cunning baddie, he is terrific, and bears a hysterical and mocking aspect , subsequently he would play similar characters . And brief appearances from Rance Howard and his son, Clint Howard (Ron Howard's brother) who later developed a long career as a supporting role in films of all kinds of genres.
Notably photographed by the Lucien Ballard, a prestigious cameraman who photographed most of Sam Peckinpah's films . The motion picture was well directed by Michael D. Moore. He was a child actor of the silent screen (under contract to Famous Players-Lasky), who later became a noted second unit director. His most important credits include Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid (1969), Patton (1970) and the first three Indiana Jones movies. He was also an assistant director and actor, known for The War of the Worlds (1953), Never Say Never Again (1983) and Willow (1988). An Eye for an Eye(1966) rating: 6.5/10. Decent and acceptable Western, worthwhile watching.
