6.5/10
Sergio Corbucci's first Spaghetti Western still has one foot planted firmly in the "older" Western traditions (and bears almost none of Corbucci's signature violence and grit) but despite a brutal start, the movie picks up steam as it goes, and it culminates in a pretty good shootout between the titular hero and his nemesis Fox (who looks like an 'if they mated' between Lee Van Cleef and Revolver Ocelot). Alex Cox gave this a pretty merciless review in his book 10,000 Ways to Die and it deserves it sometimes but overall the movie turned out better than I expected.
