As a fan of the genre, this is the worst I've seen. Lazy production, terrible acting from the extras, and a story that forgets that it's being told. Other later period Spaghetti Westerns tried new things, and went deeper into their characters. Two stellar examples are 'Keoma' and 'California'.

This one chose the opposite route, digressing towards a pre-spaghetti style, which is incredibly boring and completely pointless in every way.

If you're new to Italian Westerns please don't bother, there's literally hundreds of better options. If you some how stumbled across this movie, don't let it sully your opinion of the genre, check out some better movies.

Italian cinema has deeply influenced world cinema through its socially conscious realism and modernist experimentation, but it also flourished in popular genres like peplum (sword & sandal), giallo thrillers, and broad comedies. Its narratives often weave together politics, contemporary social change, class consciousness, and family dynamics, balancing artistic ambition with entertainment that resonated widely.
