Overview

Half-breed Keoma returns to his border hometown after service in the Civil War and finds it under the control of Caldwell, an ex-Confederate raider, and his vicious gang of thugs. To make matters worse, Keoma’s three half-brothers have joined forces with Caldwell, and make it painfully clear that his return is an unwelcome one. Determined to break Caldwell and his brothers’ grip on the town, Keoma partners with his father’s former ranch hand to exact violent revenge.

Viewing Notes

Catching up on my Franco Nero westerns, I pushed Keoma (1976) up my queue. Enzo Castellari installment in the Django legend is pretty good with a few spectacular shoot-out scenes. Wasn’t fully absorbed in this as that damn soundtrack kept taking me out of the film. Didn’t care much for the sub-plot w/the pregnant woman but at least this is one of the more unique spaghetti westerns akin to Peckinpah’s work. Nero is outstanding.
