The greatest movie ever!

Instant Favorite.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

SHERIFF WITH THE GOLD is a murky and unknown addition to the spaghetti western genre that fails to excite with a cheap budget and predictable plotting. There are various steretyped characters present on the screen but all of them feel paper-thin and the lack of a single sympathetic figure hurts this a lot. Once again the plot involves the theft of a gold shipment by various unscrupulous characters plotting against each other. The gold gets robbed by one character and then stolen from that character by another, and so on. I found this set-up more than a little ludicrous. Eventually a lawman sorts everything out and shoots the bad guys. This is a far cry from the kind of films made by Leone, Corbucci, Garrone, and Castellari.
