Rating: - Quality spaghetti western, very poor DVD
A Professional Gun is a very good spaghetti western by Sergio Corbucci that suffers from a horrible DVD release. The story follows a group of revolutionaries who are fighting the government during the Mexican revolution. Fighting alongside them is a mercenary who has supplied them with and taught them how to use more advanced weaponry. There is an uneasy alliance between the mercenary and the rebel leader that at times is very comical. To make things worse, the army has hired a gunman to hunt down ... Read More
Rating: - If You Like Your Fun With a Dash of Politics...
Any film inspired by a Franco Solinas story is guaranteed to have its share of Leftist politics, and "A Professional Gun" is no exception. Although not as pointed as Damiani's "Bullet for the General" nor as exquisitely-plotted as Solimas' "The Big Gundown" (both of which were released just before this film), Corbucci's movie is engaging, entertaining, and often innovative. Following his "Django" and "The Great Silence," it is also a major change of pace ... Read More

Rating:  - Superb
This is one of the best Spaghetti Western I have seen. You have everything. Jokes, gun fights, film music by Ennio Morricone. It plays in the time of the Mexican revolution. Franco Nero is the mercenary who helps the revolutionaries against the Mexican army as well as bad man (Jack Palance). At the end there is a final showdown between Jack Palance and Tony Musante.
For Spaghetti Western fans this is a film you need to watch.
