    Late revenge

    The gunman El Rojo (Richard Harrison) comes to Gold Hill, a town which belongs to four rich businessmen. He plans to kill these four, because they killed his family years ago (which is the reason why they became so rich in the first place). But how can he prove that these respectable citizens are murderers?

    Effective and rather dark little western, but not so special. Richard Harrison looks really mean compared to most of his other movies, and this is often enhanced by a light well put on his eyes by the DOP Aldo Giordani. Directed by Leopoldo Savona (as "Leo Colman") who also directed the Anthony Steffen westerns "Killer Kid" and "Apocalypse Joe".

    It has a certain charm

    "Rojo" isn't a very good movie. It's ridiculous every step of the way. The action isn't staged very well. The Mexican villain looks terrible and the Indian guy looks as convincing as a Hekawi from "F-Troop". Those guys are fine in the movie but they just look silly. The main cast members of the movie are fine but nobody really stands out. That said, "Rojo" does have a certain charm. This movie is never campy but its flaws somehow help the movie out. The goodwill "Rojo" builds up ends up making a somewhat satisfying watch. I'm not sure I will remember watching it in a few weeks but I kind of liked it today.
