Strong story, leisurely paced "Spaghetti."
Way, way above average "Spaghetti Western" that takes it's time getting to several superior action scenes. Notable acting by George Hilton, Gilbert Rowland, Van Heflin, and Klaus Kinski. The four prospectors each have a motive for eliminating the other three. Definitely not predictable in the way things evolve, with each needing the others at times to survive. Kinski is especially slimy in his role, while Van Heflin and Rowland are uneasy anti heroes. Although somewhat "Americanized", the film is both unpredictable and entertaining. MERK.
