You won't be disappointed!

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

DAY OF ANGER is a solid addition to the spaghetti western genre, shot in attractive Almeria (as with so many films of this genre) and with fine performances from two leads who made the genre their own. The director behind this one, Tonino Valerii, also handled the popular likes of MY NAME IS NOBODY and A REASON TO LIVE, A REASON TO DIE.The plot is different to most standard spaghetti western stories. Giuliano Gemma stars as a down-on-his-luck young cleaner who falls in with an infamous gunslinger, played with relish by Lee Van Cleef. Together, the two men quickly clean up the town, but the stage is set for conflict when the pupil outgrows his former master.DAY OF ANGER has plenty of well-shot action to recommend it, and the cinematography is colourful and lush. The milieu is rather small scale, but the assured performances from the two likable leads make this a film that's hard to dislike overall. In some places it becomes pretty iconic, and it's certainly above average for the genre.

Day of Anger is one of the great spaghetti westerns. Directed by Tonino Valerri and stars Guiliano Gemma as the hero of the film, a waste collector turned gunslinger named Scott. He becomes mentored by a tough gunslinger named Frank, who helps/harms him in equal manner.Scott becomes indebted to Frank after Frank defends his honour, and the two men become entangled in a violent and messy plot involving stolen funds. However, their friendship is tested when Scott begins to realize just how far Frank will go to get rich. This is one of the spaghetti classics. A rich and detailed world with good solid action sequences, long-panning shots of gorgeous desert and an iconic soundtrack await. This film holds its own amongst some of the Sergio Leone and Corbucci classics, like A Fistfull of Dollars and Django.Their are also multiple versions of the film available. My first viewing was the original English dub (there is another one as well). I have not yet viewed the Italian dub (yes, both feature dubbing). All things considered, this is a well shot, well acted spaghetti western. It is one of the greats of its genre, and should be viewed by any western fan. 8/10

This clever and successful Spaghetti Western that owes a considerable debt to Leone deals with a miserable bastard named Scott (Giuliano Gemma) who runs errands and works menial jobs in a little town ; as he's mistreated , pushed and kicked by ruthless villagers . Then , there arrives an occasional mysterious visitor , a too smart bad guy , he's a two-fisted gunslinger named Frank (Lee Van Cleef) . He befriends Scott and acts as protector of the humiliated young who receives advice from the gunslinger and he becomes tough , surpassing his teacher . The gunfighter teams up with the hapless young man against the nasty townspeople mistreated him and then Scott carries out a personal vendetta . Later on , it takes place fateful happenings , as they never thought it could happen in their town .The film displays psychological characters-in deep , shootouts , action Western and being enough entertaining . The movie contains typical particularities Spaghetti , as it is filled with fury , sadism , bloodbaths, and portentous close-ups of grime-encrusted faces . Gulianno Gemma is good as unfortunate bastard working in worst and dirtiest labors , and Lee van Cleef is cool as cruel gunslinger . As secondaries appear Jose Calvo (Silvanito in ' A fistful of dollars') and usual of Spaghetti as Benito Stefanelli (habitual master of arms), Andrea Bosic and Ricardo Palacios . Furthermore , Ivonne Sanson as brothel Madame , she was a known actress in Italian melodramas and an uncredited Al Mulock (he was one of the mythic trio at the beginning of 'One upon a time in the West' along with Jack Elam and Woody Strode) . The producers Alfonso Sansone and Chroscicki produced 'Day of Anger' with quite Budget . The picture is full of nice sound by Riz Ortalani and correctly photographed by Enzo Sarafian . The motion picture was well directed by Tonino Valeri who was Sergio Leone's assistant . Valerii managed to make a fluid , witty and agreeable SW . He proved his experience in Western such as ¨Bounty hunter¨ , ¨Death a President¨ , ¨A reason to live a reason to die¨ and his biggest hit : ¨My name is nobody¨ with Henry Fonda and Terence Hill .This Spaghetti Western along with 'Da Uomo a Uomo (Giulio Petroni with Lee Van Cleef-John Philip Law)' led to recovery in the popularity of 'horse opera' after Leone hits . Both of them are masterpieces about gunslinger/disciple theme , and developing a paternal-filial relationship . Other films about this issue are the followings : 'All'ombra di un colt (65)' by Gianni Grimaldi with Conrado San Martin and Stephen Forsyth , 'Bandits (1967)' by Massimo Dallamano with Enrico Maria Salerno and Venantino Venantini and 'Beyond the Law (68)' by Giorgio Stegani with Lee Van Cleef and Alfonso Sabato.

One of my favorite teen memories surrounds the film "Day of Anger." I saw it at the El Rey Theatre in Walnut Creek, California in 1972 as part of a double feature with "Superfly." Don't ask me how that match-up was booked, but I went with a couple of friends and thanks to the new release paired with it, the place was nearly packed. Old school singleplex with 1000 or so seats. Everyone was hushed and into the story until Lee Van Cleef stomped into the scraggly bar in the scraggly village, banged on the wooden plank serving as the bar and demanded: "Get me Wild Jack!" For a moment the theater remained hushed. Then, from a few rows behind us, a guy yelled out "WILD JACK! What kinda name is that?" Suddenly taken by the over-the-top melodrama, the crowd turned the whole experience on its end and started howling at what now seemed to be a self-referential satire on the spaghetti western genre. Of course I didn't think in such high-falutin' terminology at the time, I just thought it was funny. With all due respect to serious aficianados of the genre, it was just one fun night. One of the guys I went with suggested that we go back and repeat the astonished "WILD JACK!" comment the next night, but we figured, I think rightly, that you had to be there, it was a one shot thing, with perfect timing that had us laughing too hard to take it seriously when poor Scott Mary finally had his day in the sun and finished off his mentor while reciting the final rule of the gunfighter.
