A Fistful of Dynamite (1971)

£0.00

(Giù la testa/Duck You Sucker!/C'era una volta il rivoluzione)


Country: IT/SP
Technical: Techniscope 150m
Director: Sergio Leone
Cast: Rod Steiger, James Coburn, David Warbeck, Vivienne Chandler

Synopsis:

An IRA explosives expert tags along with a bank robber during the Mexican Revolution, but their get-rich-quick scheme turns them into reluctant fighters for Villa and Zapata.

Review:

Leone's last Western is a disappointing affair, essentially a re-run of The Good and the Ugly but without the Bad, destablizing the whole enterprise into an opera buffa entertainment with Steiger overacting accordingly. A fistful, then, of racial stereotypes, sweat and explosions (as so often with Mexican Revolution films), but at least there's a jokey score from Morricone.
