Review of Sabata

Sabata (1969)
6/10
Tasty Spaghetti
27 June 2022
If you are on the search for some spaghetti you get some - Sabata is one of those wonderful Western movies Italian style: it's dirty in more than just one way, people die like flies, the characters are cool, the dialogues sometimes over the top cool, and last but not least, Lee Van Cleef embodies our bad hero once again in his very own way. No doubt, Sabata is not masterclass like Once Upon a Time in the West, For A Few Dollars More or The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, but for sure a fine ride - if you like that kind of movies. The main issue I got with this one is the "fact" that the last third of Sabata meanders a little too many times around (sometimes it feels like the writers/director got an idea too many and just squeezed it in) - some cutting and focus would have improved the quality of the movie dramatically.
