The tough gun-man Burt Sullivan (Franco Nero) leaves his job as a town sheriff to go to Mexico to find the man, Cisco, who killed his father many years ago. He and his younger brother arrive in a small town where everybody is afraid of Cisco who has become the local landowner. But there is a secret. It turns out that Cisco is the father of Burt’s younger brother and Cisco are craving for respect from his “son”. Burt Sullivan joins forces with the local townspeople to stop and bring Cisco back to his punishment in Texas.
Director Ferdinando Baldi, who also co-wrote the compact script with Franco Rossetti, relates the absorbing story at a steady pace, maintains a tough serious tone throughout, and stages the plentiful exciting shoot-outs with aplomb. Nero and Dell’Aqua display a natural and engaging chemistry in the leads. The neat array of dastardly villains helps a lot: Joe Guardiola as the suavely slimy McLeod, Livio Lorenzon as sadistic bandito leader Alcade Miguel, and, best of all, Jose Suarez as the deliciously nasty and ruthless Cisco Delgado. The tragic ending packs a devastating emotional punch. Enzo Barboni’s crisp widescreen cinematography provides an impressively expansive sense of scope. Anton Garcia’s spare, yet stirring score hits the spot. A worthwhile oater.
