Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

TWO CROSSES AT DANGER PASS is very much a stock spaghetti western that lacks the stylistics familiar from the best of the genre. This one follows the usual revenge template as it sees a couple of youths surviving a massacre only for the male survivor to swear vengeance against the man responsible. What follows is a mix of shoot-outs, melodrama, and routine plotting, all of it acted and portrayed in a familiar but unexciting way. The film is badly dubbed and shot in the dirt with grime-encrusted streets and actors and that peculiar sun-scorched look that Spanish additions to the genre always have. It's a passable time-waster but certainly far from the best of its type.

Passable though mediocre Tortilla/Spaghetti full of fury , action, and portentous duels . This acceptable but regularly made Paella Western that owes a considerable debt to Leone deals with a Sheriff named T. Mitchell (Jesús Puente) has prisoner in jail to an innocent called Powell (Miguel Del Castillo) . The sheriff frees him but nasty land baron Moran (Armando Calvo) takes to Powell and hanging him and later on kills Marshal Mitchell in presence his child Alex . Little Alex and his sister called Judy Mitchell (grown-up Mara Cruz) are adopted by a quaker family and he befriends Mark (Luis Gaspar). One time grown-up Alex Mitchell (Pietro Martellanza as Peter Martell) carries out a relentless vendetta against Moran (Armando Calvo) and his hoodlums : his son Charly Moran (Mario Novelli as Anthony Freeman) , Doc (Antonio Pica) and others . Leone-style Western with nice performances and regular direction by Rafael Romero Marchent who creates some good action scenes and exciting set pieces . The movie contains typical particularities Spaghetti , as is full of fury , sadism , bloodbaths , and close-ups of grime-encrusted faces . The notorious Spaghetti/Paella actor , Peter Martell is good in his usual tough role , here playing a miserable young become into a terrible avenger . His role is well performed , he plays as a merciless revenger , a violent young who seeks a bloody vendetta , an usual plot in Spaghetti/Chorizo Western . Pietro Martellanza or Peter Martell was born on September 30, 1938 in Bolzano, Italy as Pietro Martellanz and he died in Bolzano ,2010 .

Furthermore , a largely secondary cast plenty with Spanish secondaries , all of them ordinary in Chorizo western as Emilio Rodríguez , Antonio Pica , Xan Das Bolas , Dyanik Zurakowska , Miguel Del Castillo , Mara Cruz , uncredited Cris Huerta as fat man killed in saloon by Charly and the great Jesús Puente , usually playing good characters , this time as a fine sheriff , among others , though there sadly lacks Fernando Sancho . Mediocre photography by Emilio Foriscot, being necessary a right remastering because of the film copy is washed-out , filmed on location in Las Rozas , Manzanares Del Real , La Pedriza , Madrid . And being accompanied by an agreeable musical score by Francesco De Massi , including catching leitmotif and enjoyable songs at the beginning and ending.The motion picture was written by usual writer/producer Eduardo Manzanos Brochero along with Enzo Battaglia based on a story by the latter . The movie was produced in enough budget by Eduardo Manzanos Brochero who started producing ¨Il Coyote¨ and ¨The Jiusticia De Coyote¨ by Joaquin Romero Marchent with Abel Salazar and Gloria Marin . After that , he produced with his company Copercines ¨Vengeance of Zorro¨ and ¨L'Ombra di Zorro¨ (1962) by Joaquin Marchent .
