Moviecut—Four Came to Kill Sartana

FOUR CAME FOR SARTANA is a nice little spaghetti western, made on an obviously tight budget but with a lot of style and action to recommend it. Blond-haired Jeff Cameron stars as Sartana, battling against the usual outlaws, and also as usual there's a wealth of violent action and incident to see this one through.

Quick cash-ins were common back in the day, but some were actually good. This is not. Jeff Cameron plays Sartana in an embarrassingly phony blond wig and a white outfit that looks nothing like the Sartana we knew (what were they thinking, that no one would notice?). The plot concerns a villainous black robed figure, with long grey hair, known as The Mormon who has been organizing the kidnapping of various individuals (by talking to his henchmen from behind a portrait with the eyes cut out) and getting huge ransoms. During his last effort, Sartana interferes and now the Mormon must put together a band of stone cold killers to take him out before the next big job. Flatly acted and directed with a minimum of production values (not always a bad thing, though), this is probably exactly what non-fans think a Spag is: A boring rip-off with a laughable villain and no budget. If you've never seen a Sartana movie, please, do not start here! Look for the one's with Gianni (John) Garko and prepare to get hooked!
