Review of Keoma (1976) by Henrik H — 16 Apr 2010
Keoma is easily in the top 3 western movies I've seen. It's not as captivating as Leone's two masterpieces, "The good the bad and the ugly" and "Once upon a time in West", but where it lacks the mood, it gains in the actionscenes and the story as a whole.
The movie is about a half-breed man, Keoma, getting back home from the civil war. His family has fallen apart and the local town is now ruled by an asshole named Caldwell, who's prohibiting the use of medicines and making the people pay taxes 'bout everything you can imagine. Now it's up to Keoma to save the day and a local pregnant woman from her tormentors.
It's kinda basic story, but it gets really "deep" after awhile and before you even notice, your armpits are sweatting and you're cheering aloud for Keoma.
I'm gonna keep this one short 'cause I don't like telling too much about GOOD MOVIES, I expect you to watch them and make your own decisions.
Keoma, you rule!
