feels a bit like an epic


Well....don't laugh, but this is quite an epic spaghetti western. It's no GBU or Dynamite in scale, but still it has that feeling that what you see on screen is very real. The soundtrack only helps.

This movie is one of the most professional westerns I ever saw. Well....that doesn't mean the ones that don't look pro are bad, but they just feel a little if the greatest limit was the budget.

I like epic movies. I like spaghetti westerns. I rly like those 2 combined :p

I know what you mean. It's a shame that only Sergio Leone was allowed to make epic spaghetti westerns. The others couldn't cross the magical two hours limit. Many films like Django, The Mercenary and Face to Face clearly have the possibilities to be epics like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. If only the production would've let them.
