Warning: Spoilers
"Clever and noble drifter gunslinger Django (a solid and engaging performance by George Eastman) arrives in a small town that’s being terrorized by two hostile groups. Django decides to clean the place up by taking on both gangs. Director Massimo Pupillo, working from a compact script by Lina Caterina, Paul Farjon, and Masrcello Malvestito, relates the enjoyable story at a brisk pace, maintains a suitably gritty tone throughout (the antagonists are a pretty heinous bunch who go as far as to kill a mother and her son in the opening robbery set piece), makes excellent use of the rocky desert locations, and stages the plentiful thrilling shoot-outs with crackling verve (besides said shoot-outs, a lively barroom brawl provides another exciting highlight). It’s nice to see Eastman, a hulking actor who’s usually cast as scary psychos and leering heavies, play an appealing heroic lead for once. The colorful rogues’ gallery of lethal bad guys adds considerably to the picture’s entertainment value: Luciano Rossi as the shifty Dr. Thompson, Mimmo Maggio as ruthless Mexican bandito leader El Santo, and, most memorable of all, Frederico Boido as twitchy henchman The Nervous One. The fetching Liani Orfei fares well as sweet damsel in distress Linda, Spartaco likewise registers favorably as the helpful Miguel, and Antonio Toma contributes a sympathetic turn as browbeaten mute Pedro. Mario Parapetti’s crisp cinematography boasts lots of cool shots of the sprawling landscape. Berto Pisano’s robust’n’rousing score hits the stirring spirited spot. A fun flick."
