criticism

“The film is one of the worse“ weird ”westerns because it doesn't take narrative development, but simply strings together endless shootouts and fights. He also does not present any morally reprehensible elements of the plot. " Christian Keßler sarcastically:" People crawl senselessly through the area for hours and not particularly captivating details are brought to the viewer in meticulous preparation. "

Remarks

The film was shot in Ostia and Tor di Valle . A high voltage line is clearly visible in the film.
