Coburn has a great face for a movie like this. I really enjoyed this movie because of its strong acting. Sometimes the flashbacks are indeed a bit confusing and sometimes they don't help continuity. Other than that, there isn't much to say about this film. Nicely shot and Morricone's musical contribution is again excellent.

The theme of this film changed a bit compared to the Dollars trilogy, but I liked that.

Maybe a bit on the (too) long side, but otherwise a fine "western".
