An American traveller finds himself drawn into all manner of violent adventures when he ill-advisedly heads for Mexico. His train is held up by bandits who are collecting weapons and money for revolutionary activities, and he ends up joining them - but a dark secret looks set to place him in serious danger. Spaghetti Western, starring Klaus Kinski, Gian Maria Volonte and Lou Castel. In Italian
Think of the spaghetti western genre and Sergio Leone will always spring to mind. After his early successes, plenty of other Italian directors jumped on the bandwagon, and this effort from Damiano Damiani is among the better efforts. Having played alongside Clint Eastwood in For a Few Dollars More, Gian Maria Volonté and Klaus Kinski headline this tale of a bandit chief who becomes embroiled in a plot to assassinate a revolutionary leader. Damiani instils the violence with a probing moral concern, and creates plenty of tension between the moments of introspection and exuberance.
