action
Mike Barnett says goodbye to his good friend David as he is on his way to his friend Jane Harris's house. There he wants to get $ 10,000 to buy a piece of land. He discovers Jane dead; seven men attack him and beat him to death - as they think. But Mike survived seriously injured and found seven dollar bills that he left with his victims on his vengeance campaign, which he undertook after his recovery; one for every death. When he finally meets the man he takes to be the leader in a saloon, he follows him to the hiding place. There he finds the mastermind behind the whole thing: none other than David. Mike can kill him too.
criticism
The lexicon of international film found the plot to be “schematic”. Christian Keßler also described it as “almost an exercise in mimimal art”, criticizing the slow development of the unsurprising story and the less than enthusiastic portrayal of the main actor. The Italian critics also noted that the technically reliable direction relied on too many well-known people in the popular genre: close-ups of the unshaven main actor, the inevitable Fernando Sancho and any shootings.
Remarks
The reason for the pseudonym of (also in the western genre) not unknown Brett Halsey is not known. The gross profit in Italy was 116.76 million lire .
The soundtrack was released on CD in 2006 by GDM 2069.
