Englisch Late spaghetti western, which is probably the reason why it is not so much a spaghetti movie. The opening 40 minutes are completely different from the rest of the movie in terms of tone, course and style. And the difference is so big than even story line is unable to connect both parts. The only two connecting elements (main character/villain) are profiled significantly differently in the second part. The result are two separate (and excellent!) Westerns that have nothing in common. One is a post-war drama that thrives on fog, rain, mud, low spirits and hopelessness. This part ends with life on a farm. The second part lasts about an hour and begins with a trip to the city and it is a traditional genre movie revolving around revenge/rescue. It takes place in the scorching heat of the sun on dusty roads between stagecoach stations and settlements in the middle of nowhere. This peculiar contradiction can be seen in everything. The opening part has a completely different conception of music than the other one, or the fact that the main character is a dreaded gunslinger turns out only twenty minutes before the movie ends. And none of it is really important since blood fights prevail. After all, he shoots only a single character during the whole film and this character was already dying at that moment. Nevertheless, this cannot be not recommended, because more than one separate western is not even half as good as both these films, where the first is unusual and more stylish, and the second is cleaner in terms of genre.
