Summary: Are Justice And Revenge One And The Same?
Review: Terrific fast paced and tightly plotted spaghetti western directed by Fernando Baldi. Franco Nero is the second greatest western actor next to Clint Eastwood. Great score and some potent shootouts. A well rounded film with an interesting thematic message on retribution and vengeance that rings true throughout. One of the best italian westerns I have ever seen.

Summary: Well done DVD of decent film
Review: This is a well done DVD transfer - the cinemascope video is beautifully rendered (as well as a film of this vintage can be of course), and the sound is also well done (sadly not redone in 5.1.. oh well). A big plus is that it comes with the original Italian language track - something that is glaringly missing from many North American spaghetti western editions (all the big Leone films are lacking it). Extra points to Anchor Bay for that.

As other reviewers have mentioned, this particular film is not typical of Italian westerns - it doesn't have the same stylishness that defines the films of Leone and others. All the same though, it is sure to please fans of the western genre (which ultimately I myself am not really). Nero really does suit this type of film to a rare degree.
