Editorial Reviews

Any Gun Can Play is a fun, surprisingly lighthearted take on the spaghetti western genre. In fact, it's particularly fascinating because it is as much a crime caper as it is a western thanks to a plot that focuses on double and triple-crosses between characters who struggle for the upper hand while searching out a hidden cache of gold. Any Gun Can Play also has a sense of humor that keeps the proceedings engaging. Director Enzo Castellari wisely plays into this aspect of the material, mixing conventional shootouts with bits of slapstick humor that dovetail nicely with the action. In terms of acting, George Hilton anchors the film with a solid, slyly humorous performance as the film's mysterious hero. He also receives nice support from Edd Byrnes as a banker opponent who becomes an ally and Gilbert Roland's authoritative turn as a wily crime kingpin. A classic-style spaghetti western score from Francesco De Masi seals the film's charm. In short, Any Gun Can Play is a nice diversion for spaghetti western fans looking for a break from the genre's sometimes brutal excesses.
