So-so Spaghetti Western with Peter Lee Lawrence as a gunslinger who puts peace and order in Carson City
19 May 2018
Ordinary Spaghetti Western with regular Pasta actors and uneven direction . It has a contact killer nicknamed Mister Silver (Peter Lee Lawrence) who is hired by high price .As he is contracted by some powerful people (John Bartha Andrea Bosic) from Carson City to kill bandits who are robbing stagecoaches. As Mr Silver track down the outlaws and kill them one by one . Meanwhile , Carson sheriff (Mirko Ellis) and deputy (Massimo Righi) suspect from him ; later on , Mr Silver becomes involved with a gorgeous Saloon girl and the banker' s daughter (Agnes Spaak ) who was murdered at a stage's assault.

Mediocre but passable Ravioli Western directed by a professional director , B actors , a lot of of habitual secondaries and expert technicians . In the wake of Sergio Leone films , here we have a bounty hunter who for money and justice finds out robbing and murders commited by a heinous and masked band undercoveringly commanded by dark forces . Shootouts , gorgeous women , poker games ,a brief intrigue with herrings , and fights in Terence Hill-Bud Spencer style enliven this entertaining but mediocre Pasta Western . At the end takes place the customary final duel and culminating in the unmasking the suspect , unexpected person guilty of the astonishing crimes . The picture is well starred by Peter Lee Lawrence as a pistolero who shoots silver bullets , though he gives an average interpretation , as usual . From his uncredited debut in the known Leone film , For a few dollars more , to his early death Lee made several motion pictures .German born Peter was a young who performed a lot of Spaghetti Western as The man who killed Billy the Kid , Garringo , A pistol for a hundred coffins , I giorni della violenze, Death on high mountain , Awkward hands , but he also made other genres as Adventure such as Black Beauty , Tiger of Khiber and Wartime as Hell in Normandy or his last film a comedy in Spain titled Los caballeros de boton de ancla , there he had headeache and was rapidly operated but shorly after died at 30 years old of cancer . In addition , a great number of secondaries seen in Italian subgenres as Spaghetti , Peplum or terror such as Andrea Bosic ,Alberto Dell'Aqua or Cole Kitosch, Mirko Ellis , Massimo Righi , Nello Pazzafini, John Bartha , Ivan Scratuglia , Franco Pesce and several others . It displays an atmospheric cinematography and an evocative musical score in Ennio Morricone style by Robert Poitevin .

The motion picture was regular but professionally directed by Alfonso Brescia or Al Bradley . He was a craftsman who shot various fims of all kinds of genres as Wartime as Hell in Normandy , Missone subbie roventi, Kill Rommel ; Science Fiction as Cosmos , War of robots , Stars battle , The beast in space ; adventure such as ZannaBianca , The Amazons vs The Superman , Ayor the iron warrior , Battle of the Amazons ; Peplum as Magnificent gladiator ,Rivolta del Pretoriano , Conqueror of Atlantida and of course Spaghetti Western as The Colt is my law , Fury of Johnny Kid , Winchester Bill, I giorno della violenze , among others . Rating : 5.5/10 average but passable . The film will appeal to Peter Lee Lawrence fans .
