Unsatisfying spaghetti western
12 May 2014
Whether you are a casual viewer of westerns, or a die hard fan of the genre like I am, chances are you'll be underwhelmed by "Reverend Colt". About the only positive things about it are that it looks decent (both with photography and production values) and that it's one of the rare spaghetti westerns to have nudity (though the one scene with nudity is blatantly gratuitous). But the movie is a mess. It's often kind of confusing, taking its time to explain some details to viewers. It also feels kind of flat, with not only with not enough action, but the action there is being quite sub par for the genre. Even the music is forgettable! As for Guy Madison, he doesn't show emotion very well for the most part, and he comes across as not totally likable. It doesn't help that in the second half of the movie, his role essentially becomes a supporting player instead of being a prominent player. And Richard Harrison is pretty much wasted in a somewhat minor role. Feel free to skip this foreign oater.
