Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
tassilovp This is a somewhat curious movie, an odd mixture between Italo western, comedy and drama (even melodrama at times!).The main problem is that it isn't quite sure about what it is supposed to be on the whole. The shooting and fighting scences are pretty trashy. Lee van Cleef and Lionel Stander save some of the scenes although it becomes obvious that van Cleef is the wrong chap for the role of Cudlip: He's too talkative and witty in a conventional way. In the end he's torn apart between his new duty as a sheriff and his former life as a thief. You cannot even remotely compare his role to that of Sentenza or Col. Mortimer in the Dollar-trilogy.When nothing better is on, you can probably watch this movie and get a little bit of entertainment out of it. Also see whether you can reckognize Bud Spencer. He's playing a quite untypical role which does not involve his fists.
rmahaney4 3 rogues steal a mining company's payroll from Antonio Sabato's Czechoslovakian mining engineer at the beginning of this rather routine Spaghetti Western. They then spar with the black-clad villain Burton. The story of the transformation of Lee Van Cleef's Cutlip from criminal to marshal is interesting and could have made a really good film, but it is poorly executed with unimaginative direction and music. However, a few of the scenes, particularly those with the hostages, are effective. If you like SW, then you will find something in this film to enjoy. I did. But if you do not, then avoid. I saw a rather poor quality pan and scan VHS. The film would really benefit from widescreen.Lee Van Cleef's performance is good, but as usual with SW there are some priceless dubbed lines like, "I never saw nor heard so many b*****ds in all my life. All you men got families that came from all over the world, right? The kid just got here and gets and little bad luck and you treat him like a dog. Who the hell do you think you are? You act like you all got hit in the head with a horse!"Top spaghetti western list http://imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=21849907Average SWs http://imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=21849889 For completists only (bottom of the barrel) http://imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=21849890
Wizard-8 The basic story was very interesting, and parts of it were well executed. Especially the GREAT ending, which gives Van Cleef a chance to do some excellent acting without having to say a word.The problem with the movie is that (uncut) it's too long, and way too drawn out. It could have been edited down by twenty minutes or so. Also, the movie does not explore Van Cleef's character's transformation enough, with is a serious mistake.The more you like spaghetti westerns, the more chance there is you'll like it. You also get to see Bud Spencer without his beard!
Mark-371 This movie was ok.....i thought it would be good since lee van cleef was in it and so was lionel stander......mainly i bought it because Bud Spencer was in it......i thought he was a main character but he was only in the movie for about 10 minutes.....the story wasn't bad....it was about a guy who came from europe to the states to deliver money to some miners but its stolen....he has to get it back and he asks lee van cleef for help...but lee was the person who robbed him! i would give this movie a 5/10
