"The Big Gundown" is literally full of memorable and notably brilliant sequences that are exemplary bits of great scriptwriting. Cuchillo's escape in the middle of the desert, for example, with just the help of a cactus and an innocent snake, is truly ingenious and clever.

The English-language version of the film has been given a 2K restoration that results in the best-looking home-video release for a spaghetti western since Once Upon a Time in the Westhit video.

The Big Gundown (Italian: La resa dei conti, lit. 'The Settling of Scores') is a 1967 spaghetti Western film directed by Sergio Sollima, and starring Lee Van Cleef and Tomas Milian.
Review by Josh Lewis ★★★★★. "You're too damn smart to be a Senator."
