Review by Wizard-8

I knew nothing about this spaghetti western before putting the disc into my DVD player, but that's how I often like my mind to be before watching entries in this genre - I hope to be pleasantly surprised. While I didn't find this movie to be a forgotten classic, it did deliver enough to satisfy me. Certainly, the movie has its share of flaws. The plot unfolds in a fairly slow fashion, even though the running time is only seventy eight minutes long. The central figure is kind of dumb at times, enough to make him unsympathetic at times. And the movie is so low key at times that you will wish that there was more excitement in the middle section. However, the low key direction does build some genuine atmosphere here and there. The atmosphere is also aided by a sometimes eerie musical score. And while the movie could have used more action, it compensates by a really great and lengthy action sequence in the last part. I think there's enough here to satisfy fans of Euro westerns. Oh, and for fun, see if you can spot the time in the movie where you can see the shadows of the camera and the film crew jutting into the frame :-)
