Day of Anger is one of the great spaghetti westerns. Directed by Tonino Valerri and stars Guiliano Gemma as the hero of the film, a waste collector turned gunslinger named Scott. He becomes mentored by a tough gunslinger named Frank, who helps/harms him in equal manner.
Scott becomes indebted to Frank after Frank defends his honour, and the two men become entangled in a violent and messy plot involving stolen funds. However, their friendship is tested when Scott begins to realize just how far Frank will go to get rich.
This is one of the spaghetti classics. A rich and detailed world with good solid action sequences, long-panning shots of gorgeous desert and an iconic soundtrack await. This film holds its own amongst some of the Sergio Leone and Corbucci classics, like A Fistfull of Dollars and Django.
Their are also multiple versions of the film available. My first viewing was the original English dub (there is another one as well). I have not yet viewed the Italian dub (yes, both feature dubbing).
All things considered, this is a well shot, well acted spaghetti western. It is one of the greats of its genre, and should be viewed by any western fan. 8/10
