This film begins with an outlaw being chased by a "bounty hunter" (played by Mario Novelli) into the small town of White Rock, Texas. However, after a great deal of effort to finally subdue the outlaw, the bounty hunter is subsequently forced to turn him over to the town sheriff, "Burt Sullivan" (Franco Nero) who announces that he intends to claim the bounty for his own. Needless to say, this infuriates the bounty hunter who then sets up an ambush just outside of town with the intention of killing him as soon as he rides by. Unfortunately for him, this turns out to be a fatal mistake as the sheriff is a much better gunman. It's then that Burt discovers that his younger brother "Jim Sullivan" (Alberto Dell'Acqua) has not only witnessed the whole thing but intends to ride with him to Mexico to bring back a man named "Cisco Delgado" (Jose Suarez) who killed their father several years earlier. What neither of them realize, however, is that Cisco is no ordinary outlaw and that he has his own personal army to protect him. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this turned out to be an okay Spaghetti western which definitely had its fair share of action and bloodshed. Even so, it deviates in one particular aspect from most other Spaghetti westerns in that the main character is not so much interested in money--or even revenge for that matter--but rather in seeking justice upon the man who murdered his father. One other note worth mentioning is that, despite the fact that the film stars Franco Nero, it has no connection to the Django films also made during this time. Be that as it may, while I certainly don't consider this to be a great western by any means, I suppose it was sufficient for the time spent and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
