    An improbable masterpiece -- a bizarre mixture of grandly operatic visuals, grim brutality and sordid violence that keeps wrenching you from one extreme to the other.

    A curious amalgam of the visually striking, the dramatically feeble and the offensively sadistic.

One of the few films I could honestly call perfection… Expand

    As long as I live, I will never understand the appeal of this cheap spaghetti western. It's overacted, way too melodramatic. Indeed it does have a great score, but otherwise is an unimpressive western. It's just a cheap Italian made garbage.… Expand
