5/10
Routine and unimpressive Italian western
19 April 2017
Warning: Spoilers
A bounty hunter seeks revenge on some thugs who have wronged against his family; these criminals also double up as gun runners.

His Name is King is such a forgettable spaghetti western that I struggled to actually pay full attention to it. Like many in the sub-genre it has a thoroughly routine plot-line with nothing that really stood out for me. The top-billed actor was Klaus Kinski who plays a good guy who turns out to actually be bad. He's not in it much though and the picture is really led by the pretty forgettable Richard Harrison. Proceedings could definitely have benefited from more Kinski that's for sure, as he tended to put in interesting performances even when you just know he couldn't really be bothered. On the whole, not a bad film as such, just very pedestrian.
