That was an excellent one.

Beautiful, moving film.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The director of Terror Creatures From The Grave gives us a Western…but kind of forgets to inject it with much to differentiate this from seven hundred other films that involve a lone stranger (quite a few of them called Django) getting themselves all up in to warring faction's faces.  Or in this case I should say getting all down in their faces, as Django this time is played by Six foot, nine inch tall George Eastman. Eastman is great when playing half-ape men that ruin mankind's future or huge cannibal zombies that eat the entire populations of Greek islands  or the leader of a homosexual post-apocalyptic death-cult tribe, but here he just kind of grins a lot and shoots things.  Django starts off by witnessing local Mexican thug El Santo wasting a travelling caravan (including a kid of course!) and then stops a showgirl who has escaped the local white tyrant from being raped. She of course falls in love with him but Django puts that to the side in order to play everyone off each other. I nearly forgot to mention that there's a third gang to get shot at too in the shape of gunrunners who make the mistake (as they all do) of giving Django a kicking instead of just shooting him in the head for Christ's Sake!   The white tyrant is played by Italian bad guy Luciano Rossi (seemingly doing an impression of Richard Nixon?) Luciano loves his hooker and his guns and pays El Santo to do his dirty work, but now wants El Santo out of the way. Once Django shoots one of Luciano's men, he offers Django a job! Just shoot Django man! Or get one of your men to do it!  Rather than do that, they set fire to a house while Django is inside fighting a gun runner he left alive. What's wrong with you people?.   It's an average Western, but an average one is still a good one. There's the odd bit that stands out, like Django's discovery that his mate and his entire family have been killed, or the musical number a hooker belts out in Italian because the dubbing crew couldn't  be bothered translating that bit I guess.

This average Django Western contains a customary and well known script about vengeance , plenty of turns , intrigue , shoot'em up and results to be quite entertaining , though drags at times , balancing up and down . It packs a similar plot to original ¨Django¨ including two confronted bands though without machine gun . Ordinary Spaghetti Western follows the Sergio Leone wake and it is proceeded in violent style . It's a thrilling western with breathtaking confrontation between the protagonist George Eastman against the heartless Luciano Rossi and his hoodlum as Rick Boyd . Tall George Eastman as Django is passable , George or Luigi Montefiori starred several Spaghetti such as "Django the Last Killer" ¨Un poker di pistole¨, ¨The Belle Starr Story¨ , "Django, Prepare a Coffin" and even wrote several Western as "Chuck Moll" , "Amigo, Stay Away" and including the classic ¨Keoma¨ .This violent Spaghetti belongs to ¨Django¨series , after successful original ¨Django¨ by Sergio Corbucci with Franco Nero , it was followed by several imitations , rip offs and cheesy copies , such as : ¨Pochi dollar per Django¨ or ¨Alambradas De Violencia¨ (1966) by Leon Klimowsky starred by Anthony Steffen , Gloria Osuna , Frank Wolff ; ¨Django Shoots First" (1966) by Alberto Martino with Glenn Saxon , Fernando Sancho and Erika Blanc ; ¨El Mio Nome e Django¨ (1969) by Ferdinando Baldi with Terence Hill , Horst Frank , George Eastman ; ¨Django Le Bastard¨(1969) by Sergio Garrone with Anthony Steffen , Paolo Gozlino , Rada Rassimov ; ¨¨Django defies Sartana¨(1969) by Pasquale Squitieri with George Ardisson and Tony Kendall ; ¨Ein Pressen Fur Django¨ or ¨Barro en Ojos¨(1971) by Edoardo Mulargia with Anthony Steffen ; and the official sequel titled ¨Il Grande Ritorno¨(1987) by Nello Rossati or Ted Archer with Franco Nero , Christopher Connolly and Donald Pleasence .

"Django Kills Silently" (a.k.a. "Django Kills Softly") is overall a serviceable spaghetti western for people who have an interest in the genre. Some of its positive attributes include a good musical score, some good action sequences, and a pretty good performance by George Eastman, a hulking actor who you might think is better suited for bad guy roles. Also, the plot of the movie is not standard or predictable - it keeps jumping from place to place and to new characters on a regular schedule. Although one problem of this is you may be wondering just when the movie is going to settle on some key elements! Another problem is that the movie doesn't explore the lead character's motivations or character that deeply. If his name is indeed "Django", we learn this from the title, since his name is never mentioned once in the movie! Still, apart from a few quibbles like those, the movie passes the time adequately enough.

Once again we have the taciturn stranger who comes into an isolated frontier town and quickly becomes involved in various feuds which, apparently, can only be resolved through violence. There's a villain, of course -- actually several villains -- and then there's a pretty girl with whom the stranger dallies. There's nothing wrong with these ingredients but this "Django" movie strings them together so routinely and with so little regard for logical plot progression that the result can best be summarized as "forgettable." George Eastman, one of the better "spaghetti western" stars, makes an adequate leading man and though, as you might expect, he has two scenes in which he's subjected to savage beatings, he has no scene in which he takes off his shirt. (Eastman's bare-chested torture scene in "Belle Starr" is a classic!) The English-dubbed tape which is the basis for this review ran about 94 minutes but some jerky editing and a few gaps in the plot indicate that the original work may have been longer.
