Brady takes no prisoners, while Carradine takes their heads., 25 September 2007
Author: rixrex from United States

Good revenge Western with Scott Brady on the hunt for the 6 men who killed his wife and son, and burned his home, shot him and left him for dead. Thing is that they used to be Confederate soldiers under his command. They are now thieves, killers and want to be mercenaries, but he refuses to lead them, amongst other things, that turn them against him.

He's saved from death by John Carradine as a self-ordained minister who's also a Dead or Alive bounty hunter who, rather than bring in a whole body, only brings in the head to collect the bounty, keeping them pickled in a barrel. Grisly yet humorous.

Brady shows no hesitation in slaughtering the renegades, and why should he? They killed his wife and son with no remorse. Even when he could let them live, he won't. He's so intent that eventually the bounty hunter even questions his motives. Regardless, we root for him to succeed. Plenty of good gunshot violence and shoot-out scenes.

The renegades are certainly a group of morons and imbeciles, and the smart Brady is more than they can handle. This is a public domain title that isn't too hard to find.
