• In the archives on the back of Lee Van Cleef and Morricone
  • A horrifying opening—boy witnessing rapes of wife and mother and murder of entire family
  • Crude and blunt in content (see above and a sequence of bad guys force feeding John Phillip Law salt before leaving him out to die of dehydration) and style– it’s actually a decent match of both
  • Heavy zooms and jump cuts
  • It’s not leone but the editing and very inspired
  • Reoccurring sequence of boy (john Phillip law as man) seeing red tinted flashback montages every time he sees an identifying trinket (tattoo, earring, necklace) that reminds him that this man wearing it is one of the killers
  • Law is not up to snuff next to van cleef- but few are
  • Dueling tales of revenge
  • An aptly built up and dramatic showdown
  • Not near the top 10 but in the archives
  • Recommend
