This one I just watched came from the stack of Spaghetti Westerns that I have had on my shelf for years, but had not gotten around to until now.

Nice Spaghetti western, which distinguishes itself with somewhat strange, or if you like, special, camera angles and close-ups, often only of half a face, and/or only one eye in the picture and often fast image changes and editing.

Lead actor Leroy does a nice job, but doesn't have the charisma of Gemma or Nero.
For a change, the main villain Celi has not put on his white hair, but a black wig.
Both would meet again in the 1970s in the TV series "Sandokan".

Especially in the first half of the film you see the hero riding on his horse in a typical mountain landscape far too often with no specific goal and it seems more like filling extra time in order to reach the required minutes of playing time, all of this of course under the guidance of repetitive trumpet music.

Story is the standard plot where hero keeps outsmarting villains, until he overplays his luck, is caught and tortured, but manages to escape and takes bloody revenge.

Not bad, but not Leone quality either.
A seven, or 3.5 stars.
