The Four of the Apocalypse...

It's not really saying something, but this features some of Lucio Fulci's best direction. His work here is quite good. It's the story of four disparate criminals driven out of town by a crooked sheriff. They run into some holy rollers, some brutal outlaws and lunatic sharpshooter Tomas Milian. Fabio Testi is a gambler, Lynne Frederick is a *, Michael J. Pollard is a drunk and Harry Baird is a ghost seeing nut. It's a brutal, uncompromising spaghetti western, with so-so dubbing and some fine acting by Testi, Fredrick and the great Milian. As with many films of this ilk, the action is marred by some silly pop songs played at various intervals. Not bad.

I saw this for the first time recently. Got excited knowing that it is a spaghetti western film directed by Lucio Fulci but got totally disappointed as the film is very boring. Apart from the gorgeous Lynne Maria Frederick, ther is nothing good in this film. The rainstorm dinner scene may shock audiences but that's it. The story is about four people who meet each other in a prison n are sent away by the sheriff. Wandering in the desert, they come across a sadistic gun slinger. Forget about a good showdown, it doesn't even have a fair n decent duel.
