"C'é Sartana... vendi la pistola e comprati la bara!" tells the story of a strange gunman that restores right and order in a village, which doesn't necessarily amuse the powerful and evil.
The film is a potpourri of Western stereotypes, which sounds like it has to be a bad thing but really doesn't do much harm in this case. It has some nice humor, a few powerful (yet quite exaggerated) scenes and all in all feels smooth and somehow "cool". It is by no menas revolutionary and you shouldn't expect too many surprising plot twists or brilliant story choices but if you're just looking for some well produced and solid Western Action, you will have your fun and might even forget about the horrible German version of the title.
All in all I see why some people are not impressed by the film but I had more fun than I had with most Westerns and find this to be a solid example of "what you see is what you get".
