Cinq gachettes d'or

My first positive review for a while, and it's for this little Western potboiler. A guy who has spent five years in prison for the murder of his wife which he was not responsible for organises a band of the meanest hombres around and goes to kill the real culprit of the crime. The murderer happens to be the leader of a bunch of merciless gangsters who hold up stagecoaches and dispose of anyone who gets in their way, so our hero and his desperadoes have their work cut out for them. But where there's a will..

Lacking the technical expertise of Clint Eatwood's finest, this is still a thoroughly engaging spectacle. So what if the dead bodies sometimes move, and the fists obviously never make contact with skin? Thanks to robust characterisations, lashings of wit, enthusiastic gun battles and an infinitely hissable villain this is well worth catching at the wee crack of dawn when you can't sleep. In fact, it's so entertaining I am postponing my own bedtime at 2.30 a.m to recommend it to everyone. Now that's commitment. YAWN. 6/10.... ZZZZZZZZZ *Head collapses on Z key*
