You'll be dozing through this "night"

Normally I enjoy spaghetti westerns a lot, but this one was at times very tough to sit through, so I can only imagine what non-western fans would think of it. The movie does have a few good ideas that could have potentially paid off, but the execution is more often than not lacking. After the opening action sequence, you have to wait more than a half hour before the next real action sequence. The movie is extremely slow-moving and filled with too much talk to engage western fans. Even the music score, usually the highlight of a spaghetti western, is very lacklustre. Animal lovers might want to especially avoid this movie since there is some treatment of horses at one point that might anger them.

Oh, and despite what the title says, there's no character in the movie by the name of "Ringo".
