      Petroni’s direction is crude but effective.

      Chicago Reader

      Apart from some psychedelic flashback sequences, this 1967 spaghetti western is highly familiar stuff, unlikely to interest anyone beyond fans of the genre.

      A bit more violent than the average spaghetti western.

      As usual, the clutter of clichés is exceeded only by the excessive sound and fury.

      A bad movie indeed.
