4/10
by this time the Speghetti Western genre was dead
13 April 2005
Sergio Martino directed Western yawn-fast that wants so desperately to be 1976's "Keoma", but can't. Maurizio Merli (Franco Nero look a like) plays the role of a hatchet-wielding bounty hunter out for revenge, or something. Martino should have made the wise choice and stuck with making qiallo films. This was made in a time that the cynicism of Italian Westerns was gone and the genre was sadly loosing steam. It's main flaws, a horrid soundtrack (not nearly as bad as "Keoma"'s though) and a wholely unsatisfying rushed ending

My Grade:D+

Blue Underground DVD Extras: 'A Man called Segio' Featurette; Poster & Stills Gallery; Talent Bios for Sergio Martino & Maurizio Merli; and Theatrical Trailer

1 Easter Egg: hidden hatchet on the Extras menu for Trailers of "Django", "Run, Man, Run" and "Django Kill, if you live Shoot"
