The gang allows him to join them to sell weapons to Mexican revolutionaries ignoring he is double-crossing , as he is a traitor working for dark forces .<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a magnificent western film with dazzling shootouts between the protagonists and the contenders . The spotlights of the movie result to be the confrontation in the train and the final duel . There is a special remembrance to Leone&#8217;s western , because appearing : Volonte , Kinski and Aldo Sambrell who are usually in the master&#8217;s Spaghetti films . This picture belongs to numerous group in which is set during Mexican revolution , called \u00a8Zapata Western\u00a8 , such as the Italian films : \u00a8Compa\u00f1eros\u00a8 , \u00a8The mercenary\u00a8 , \u00a8Tetepa\u00a8 and the American movies : \u00a8The wild bunch\u00a8 and \u00a8The professionals\u00a8 . The picture blends violence , blood, action western and it&#8217;s fast movement and for that reason is entertaining ; besides there is a thoughtful dialog with a clever writing in leftist trending by Franco Solinas , screenwriter of a notorious film \u00a8The battle of Algiers\u00a8 . Enjoyable musical score by Luis Enrique Bacalov , author of \u00a8The Postino and Pablo Neruda\u00a8 which won an Oscar for the soundtrack and he composed lots of Spaghetti Western scores .<\/p>\n<p>The motion picture was rightly directed by Damiano Damiani . Damiani&#8217;s nice direction is well crafted , here he&#8217;s mostly cynical and inclined toward violence and too much action especially on its ending part . Damiano is an expert on all kind of genres as Drama such as \u00a8Arthur&#8217;s island\u00a8 , \u00a8The Most Beautiful Wife&#8221; , \u00a8The witch\u00a8 , \u00a8Empty canvas\u00a8 based on the Alberto Moravia novel ; Terror as \u00a8Amytiville 2 : the possession\u00a8 and Historical as \u00a8The Inquiry\u00a8 . Damiani was specialized on crime-thriller-Subgenre or Italian cop thriller as \u00a8Confessions of a Police captain\u00a8 , \u00a8How to kill a judge\u00a8 and \u00a8The case is closed , forget it\u00a8, and Spaghetti Western as \u00a8Trinity is back again\u00a8 with Terence Hill and this prestigious \u00a8A bullet for the General\u00a8 .
