Quality level on par with Leone!
I realize it’s quite a challenging promise, but Damiano Damiani’s spaghetti western “A Bullet for the General” can easily compete with the best works of eminent Italian directors such as Sergio Leone and Sergio Corbucci. It’s a superbly scripted and amazingly fascinating adventure with class-A acting performances and masterfully choreographed action sequences. The screenplay easily ranks among the most ambitious ones ever written in the genre, blending the atmosphere of the infamous Mexican Revolution with the more typical western-themes like brotherhood, gunslinger gangs and personal vendettas. Being a lot more politically engaged than the other contemporary euro-western efforts, Damiani’s “A Bullet for the General” is definitely required viewing for all the fans of vintage cult cinema. The movie opens with a brilliant and extended sequence in which El Chuncho’s gang of bandits ambushes a train full of soldiers and civilians. The notorious posse kills military men and robs them off their guns in order to support the revolution led by Mr. Elias. During their raid on the train, El Chuncho’s gang receives unexpected help from a young American who pretends to be a military prisoner. He, Bill “Gringo” Tate, requests El Chuncho to become a member of his gang and to ride along as they rob trains and liberate villages. The obstacle-packed journey slowly brings the posse to Mr. Elias’ secret hideout place, where they plan to sell the stolen armory. The young Gringo is loyal to the gang and never turns down a fight, yet his suspicious behavior reveals that he has other intentions for tagging along all the way through Mexico. Most summaries – including the one of the DVD cover I watched – carelessly reveal the reason for Gringo’s odd interest in El Chucho’s gang, but I’m convinced the film is a lot more compelling and involving if you don’t know, so you won’t hear it from me! It’s much more exciting to hunt for clues and hidden messages yourself, and I assure you there are plenty of them! The plot is marvelously developed and only at the end you’ll notice how effective and important all the little details in the script are. Despite an enormous body count and the displaying of several executions, “A Bullet for the General” isn’t the violent spaghetti western I anticipated to be. The massacres nearly aren’t as nasty or explicit as in any of the numerous “Django” clones, for example, and Damiani merely creates a suspenseful atmosphere through intelligent dialogs and suggestive situations. The filming locations and set pieces are simply breathtaking and every member of the cast performs his/her role impeccably. Gian Maria Volonté is even greater here than he was in Sergio Leone’s “For A Few Dollars More” and “Fistful of Dollars”. He receives excellent supportive feedback from Lou Castel (“Orgasmo”) and Martine Beswick (“Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde”). My only real complaint is that the legendary Klaus Kinski only briefly appears – despite his top billing – as El Chuncho’s deeply religious brother. Kinski is an amazingly charismatic actor, and I secretly hoped his role would have been larger. Other than that, “A Bullet for the General” comes with my highest possible recommendation!
