A pasta dish with spice in the sauce!
8 February 2013
If you enjoy spaghetti westerns as I do, more likely than not you will love CHARGE! (a.k.a. CAMPA CAROGNA... LA TAGLIA CRESCE) The trademarks of great spaghetti westerns are in full force here. The musical score by Nico Fidenco is tangy, and you'll be humming the theme song long after the movie is over. The locations are well-chosen, looking bleak and haunting. In fact, the whole look of the movie is great, with a worn and dusty look hanging over every scene that makes for great atmosphere. And there are some great action sequences, ranging from gun fights to man-to-man struggles. As an added bonus, the script is of interest as well, going off in many different directions that makes the story less predictable than usual. About the only thing that doesn't work in the movie is a slapstick fight sequence, which is not only unfunny, it also doesn't match the tone of the rest of the movie. But that's a minor quibble. This is one spaghetti western that's definitely worth a search for.
