Bounty hunter John Corbett (Lee Van Cleef) tracks a Mexican man named Cuchillo (Tomas Milian) who's accused of raping and murdering a 12 year-old girl. He finds Cuchillo to be much more difficult to capture than he anticipated and eventually realizes he may be innocent of the crime.
Probably the greatest spaghetti western not made by Sergio Leone. Lee Van Cleef is as charismatic and tough as ever. Tomas Milian is fun and charming, managing to hold his own against Van Cleef's strong screen presence. The action is exciting, the cinematography beautiful, and the script is smart and gritty. The great Ennio Morricone contributes the score and it's among his best work, which is saying a lot. It's an excellent film that's not without some flaws but has enough style and a better than average amount of substance for a spaghetti western to make it worth recommending to anybody.
score 8/10
