Bounty Hunters in Bountiful Bullet Bonanza. Una lunga
No Time To Die with No Room To Die.
Selling the DVD of Lucio Fulci's outstanding Giallo The Psychic, (1977-also reviewed) I looked for a bonus title I could send to the buyer as a free gift. In a Spaghetti Western mood,I found a disc which I've been meaning to play for years (!) leading to me booking a room.
View on the film:
Dressed all in black with strands of Klaus Kinski-style wild blonde hair standing on ends,William Berger brings a grittiness to the Wild West as Everett 'Bible' Murdock. Speaking only to wish those about to get killed by his 7- barrel gun (!) God Speed, Berger has Bible go full Old Testament, as Berger has Bible hold each target with a unsettling calmness in the slow, silent manner he walks to give out justice.
The third Spaghetti Western Sergio, (nothing personal man) writer/director Sergio Garrone & cinematographer Franco Villa bring surrealist flourishes to the gunfight in startling dips into black and white splattered close-ups. Rolling down cameras in the opening scene which smash into the border wall, Garrone brings that fluidity to the shoot-out set-pieces, rapidly firing the camera to blistering bullet point whip-pans, landing on a final zoom-in stand-off tribute to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966-also reviewed.)
Loading up on social commentary about the abuse trafficked immigrants suffer, the un- credited screenplay by Garrone disappointingly does not fire off a full round, due to the more serious trafficked plot thread being at odds with the wonderfully animated Bible finding that their is no room to die.
