Story

Sebastian's father was killed when he was young. His sister Isabella has been forced into marriage to a man she doesn't love. Rafael - Sebastian's childhood friend and Isabella's true love - has been hunted his whole life because he knows the identity of Sebastian and Isabella's father. Rafael and Sebastian are about to cross paths again as adults and all the skeletons are coming out of the closet.--JONAH HEX 00:47, 3 November 2007 (CET)

Opinion

I loved this film! The story plays out like some shakespearean tragedy: a twisted family, tragic love, revenge. It's all there. Baldi does a heck of a job on this one, creating a great atmosphere. The showdown at the end with the family's house burning down around the hero and the villian, while the great score plays in the background, is excellent. A great story, beautiful women, awesome music, this is a 4 star spaghetti in my opinion. --Sebastian 22:31, 9 October 2007 (CEST)
