Reception
Curti stated that the film was "unusually well-received by critics", including Vittorio Spiga who praised the film as Massi's best work, referring to Massi as managing "to renew the genre somehow: by borrowing the style of the Italian Western, its violence and characters, while taking the spectacular angle and the fast pacing from American cinema."Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". Tom Milne of the Monthly Film Bulletin stated that "Although Stelvio Massi places numbing reliance on the zoom lens, it is competently enough done, with a sound performance by Maurizio Merli in the Eastwood role."[1] Milne also commented on the dubbing, declaring it "horribly dubbed and stultifyingly tedious."[1]
In a retrospective review, Curti declared the film to be "perhaps Stelvio Massi's best effort, and one of the better late Italian poliziotteschi"Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
