A Reason to Live, a Reason to Die / Una ragione per vivere e una per morire (Tonino Valerii, 1972)

If you like Coburn, then he is never bad. I like Coburn.

But this can’t save a film which gives me the impression that none of the people involved had any interest in this film. They had probably a slightly larger budget, but the screenplay and the directing are mostly hopelessly uninspired.

Well, there are a few good moments, but there are also too much surprisingly dull moments. The whole long part when they enter the fortress is so ridiculous conceived that I never know should I cry or laugh.
The then following action scenes are at best routine, but often are also only dull.

I don’t know what went wrong, but it surely was a lot.

I transfered this from the “last western” thread.

Maybe we can discuss a bit about the different enough opinions to this film.

Lordradish is surprised that people dislike RtL,RtD
I’m surprised that people really could like it

It seems for both of us the surprise is, that we are so sure about the flaws or merits respectiveley, that the opposite view is not understandable.
