Review :
Very, very silly western!
I've never been all that impressed with Lou Castel as a heroic actor. He was always adequate, at best, and all I can say about him in this film is the same.
The story is what I find terrible about Kill And Pray. Castel's character just suddenly "becomes" a fast-draw gunman, without any explanation of how. And while he doesn't mind gunning down the bad guys (and in his own way even appears to enjoy the killing, at times), he feels compelled to say some scripture over their bodies afterward. Strange! Mark Damon's character is even stranger...a would-be old-time politician, who just happens to be gay (or at least that's the impression given). While nothing overtly sexual emerges, he implies that he has had an affair with his handsome blond gunman, at sometime in the past. Damon's performance in the film is one of the most interesting, however. Franco Citti does play his role well, and makes a convincing bad guy.
The daughter of the religious couple just disappears, and just happens to have been kidnapped by the very men who killed the little boy's parents...many years ago. Right! What a setup! The saloon scene is simply ludicrous! As gunmen, the bad guys watch in awe, and play along with Requiescant, as he sets up a dueling noose act. Hilarious bit of stupidity! The final fight between Requiescant and Ferguson is so overwrought, and ultimately predicable that I had to laugh. There's a bell...over a hole....go stand under the bell...hahaha.
Ultimately, I couldn't decide if this was intended to be a comedy western, or it was just a spaghetti western, gone bad.
