Just watched this, on a German Blu-ray in Italian, after falling asleep to it a few times late at night.

I had already prepared myself for a buddy movie in terms of western, because I saw that Berger was in it, but to my surprise he turned out to be the big villain.

The film is another typical revenge spaghetti western with bodybuilder Ciani, under the name Alan Steel, in the lead role, but he doesn't show much facial expression and in terms of charisma he is clearly inferior to genre stars such as Gemma and Nero.

Berger is good as usual and clearly in the mood, but regularly borders on smearing.

Braña, usually only a supporting actor, has a larger role here than usual and is one of Berger's main henchmen.

Decent film with unfortunately one of the most misplaced film scores I have ever heard. The entire film has a trumpet tune, but it has more in common with James Last than with "A Fistful of Dollars" and sometimes even borders on jazz, which of course is very tension-undermining and this seems to slow down the action even more.

Quite a funny film, but not really good anywhere, let alone recommended.

A six, or 3 stars.
