Companeros

Summary: The Best
Review: This is an awesome movie. What's to say? It has Jack Palance as a "very bad dude." Plus, the best musical score ever written. If you don't hum "companeros" when you have watched this - I don't know what to say. Great fun, great movie. The best spaghetti western ever. If you like westerns this is the best one to see. I can't say enough good about this film. This would be the one western I owned if I was only allowed one. A good fun time.

Review: What more can I add ? Brilliant example of the Euro - Western Genre that has for too long been relegated to the sidelines as 'B' movie.Great performances all around,fun and enoyable.If your a serious western fan or indeed a movie collector,this movie should be in your collection.From the opening to end credits I was hooked.Now it's time for Anchor Bay to release the other Corbucci Mexican Revolution movie Il Mercenario aka:Professional Gun on remastered DVD.

Summary: A classic example of Italian Western
Review: Wonderfully extravagant political western with a lovely Morricone score. The characters, as one might expect, are overdone and hammed up, but this is one of the pleasures of Italian westerns of the time. Like Leone, Corbucci's view of the west is highly stylized, violent and compulsively entertaining. Depending on your preferences this could well be a crude film with bad acting but if you are tuned to the right frequency the film delivers: it is a classic of this particular sub-genre, made with passion and high voltage energy, and in my opinion it also is Corbucci's finest entry along Il Grande Silenzio. It's not up to Leone's standards, but then again, what could be? Worth the admission, but you do need to enjoy this brand of extravagance.
