Decent Western about a merciless revenge including a deadly confrontation between a tough avenger and his enemies , both of whom played by Spaghetti stars : Brett Halsey , Angel Del Pozo , Wayde Preston and Fernando Sancho . Fine Italian Western with sad atmosphere , marvelous musical score concerning about ordinary vengeance . It deals with a cowboy called Mike (Montgomery Ford or Brett Halsey) , at the beginning , he suddenly finds his old friend David (as Angel del Pozo) . Mike returns home after leaving it long time ago , as he arrives and encounters an eerie surprise : His house and wife have been massacred during a robbing . The nasty outlaws (Fernando Sancho , Wayde Preston , Franco Fantasia..) taking US$10,000 cash he needed to pay his farm , only seven silver dollars were left untouched . Then , Mike and David bury Jane and Barnett sets out in pursuit , as he pulls off a relentless search and revenge mission . Mike , dressed in black , seeks justice and inexorable vengeance against his contenders who wrongly killed his spouse . The main tracks result to the the valuable robbed cash . As Mike carries out blackmails and massacre against various enemies in which he must use his experience and cunning , killing each man of the gang one by one and throwing one silver dollar near each body . Along the way Mike is detained and imprisoned at the town jail , being watched by a deputy (Howard Ross) , but he escapes and goes on his vendetta . The unsettling and disturbing Mike Barnett (Montgomery Ford) , eventually supported by his friend David , proceeds his activities at whatever cost , acting as judge , jury and executioner . And the end takes place his encounter with enemies in a cave , including unexpected surprises . This is a doomed journey to hell through vengeance , murders and violence .
It is a typical Spaghetti/Chorizo Western including common scenarios , two-fisted antiheroes , rapid zooms and strong confrontations full of shots , crossfire , plot twists and violence . It contains a catching soundtrack , an evocative cinematography and nice production design shot in Elios studios and Almeria , of course . This exciting Western regarding an implacable hunting down , but the cruel killings against the perpetrators should be more fun than it is , but the film seems some claustrophobic , with dark and night photography , as much of the action takes place in confined areas , deserts , defiles , including a cave for the ending showdown . Bret Halsey with pseudonym Montgomery Ford , elegantly dressed in black , plays as Mike who goes home but his dreams are shattered when Pistoleros execute a brutal slaughter , as he sees it was vandalized when bandits took the invaluable honour and life of his wife as well as his ranch and money . Brett starred several Spaghettis as ¨Kill Johnny Ringo¨ , ¨Roy Colt and Winchester Jack¨ , ¨Twenty thousand dollars for seven¨ and ¨Today We Kill, Tomorrow We Die!¨. Support cast is pretty well , it is filled with familiar faces from Spaghetti as Italian actors as Howard Ross , Dana Ghia , Franco Fantasia as Spanish players as Fernando Sancho , Antonio Padilla and Angel Del Pozo . Besides , brief appearances from American interpreter Wayde Preston who also starred a lot of Spaghettis . Evocative and thrilling musical score by Michele Lanzeranza and Roberto Pregadio in Ennio Morricone wake . The music is suitably Spaghetti with the blaring trumpets , and guitar chords . Atmospheric cinematography , plenty of lights and shades , by Mario Pacheco . Being decently filmed in Almeria , including its narrow passes , mountains and rocky outdoors , studios Dino De Laurentiis and Elios Rome , Italy .
This Spaghetti Western was professionally shot by the Italian professional Albert Cardone . Albert was a prestigious assistant director to popular films as ¨Ben Hur¨, ¨Purple noon¨, ¨Cagliostro¨ , ¨Carmen¨ , ¨Don Camilo¨ , ¨Return of Don Camilo¨. And shot some films , most of them entertaining Westerns such as : ¨Blood at Sundown¨ , ¨Kidnapping¨ , ¨Il Lungo Giorno Del Massacro¨ , ¨20.000 Dollari Sul¨ , ¨L'ira Di Dio¨ and starred by usual genre stars as Brett Halsey , Gianni Garco , Peter Martell , Wayde Preston , Fernando Sancho and Anthony Steffen . Rating : Better than average 6/10 . Only for Spaghetti Western aficionados .
