Comment
This is a very entertaining spaghetti western, although it suffers a little from a series of unexpected shifts in tone. It starts as a straightforward revenge movie, takes a melodramatic turn halfway, and almost ends like a Zapata western. Some people involved in the production (Barboni, Rosetti and Bolognini) had previously been involved in Corbucci’s Django, and the film was called Django 2 in some countries, even though Nero’s character is called Burt Sullivan. It is often described as a more Hollywood orientated spaghetti, but borrows only a little from the more traditional US westerns. Apart from the soppy theme song and a few sentimental scenes, it unmistakably bears the spaghetti trademark: it is sadistically violent and characterized by many of the mannerisms the Italian western is identified with. - Scherpschutter
