criticism

The Segnalazioni Cinematografiche are clearly negative : “Consists exclusively of Western clichés that are also presented listlessly.” Genre connoisseur Christian Keßler , on the other hand, says: “The script is fluid and entertaining, even has some really good ideas in its hand luggage. [...] With an exciting finale and a sad outcome. "
