*Plot and ending analyzed*
Stiff-nose Texas Ranger Johnny Ringo comes to town to get to the bottom of a counterfeit operation working in a gambling saloon. People try to kill him, but eventually he will bring justice to town, all by himself, because the villains are all so inept and can't shoot him.
Kill Johnny Ringo (1966) is a pretty standard Italian version of a traditional American Western. That said, it falls below the average category because it becomes quite tedious and does nothing correct like the superior American Westerns.
The main problem is that the director has no flavor for excitement or artistry. All he does is go from point A to point B. And he takes a long time to do it. This dull Western clocks in at 1 hour and 38 minutes. American television episodes of Westerns are a lot more exciting, enjoyable, and interesting.
Monotonous American actor Brett Halsey is also a complete bore. He does not show any emotion or range, and that could be said about the entire cast. They are lackluster, unimaginative and uninteresting.
See it if you can cowboy, but don't expect much.
