This interesting Iberian western contains a story full of vengeance , good dramatic pace and slick direction . This is a classical western before Leoneu0026#39;s style , it is an ordinary example of American western style though it is partly Spanish and partly Italian .

Charismatic performance for whole casting . Special mention to notorious Spaghetti actor Robert Hundar -pseudonym of Claudio Undari a Sicilian actor specialized in western films- , he is magnificent as a violent gunfighter dressed in black ; he steals the show as a merciless bandit similarly to Jack Palanceu0026#39;s Shane . Fantastic performance by the always great Fernando Sancho in a likable role , subsequently he would play similar characters , furthermore the slimy, menacing outlaw played by Aldo Sambrell , here in his ordinary role as bandit and in a cruelly baddie character . Furthermore, there appears usual Italian/Spanish Western support actors , a largely secondary cast filled with familiar faces , all of them ordinary in Chorizo/Spaghetti western , such as Lorenzo Robledo , Miguel De La Riva , Emilio Rodriguez , Simon Arriaga , Rufino Ingles , Xan Das Bolas , Jesús Guzman and many others . The musician Manuel Parada composes an atmospheric soundtrack , well conducted and with agreeable leitmotif , including catching songs at the beginning and the end .
