7/10
Very nice,

"I giorni dell'ira" is a very nice western, sometimes more american then italian. Despite from some perennial charachterizations about spags, you can find somewhere a little taste of Dmitrik's "Warlock", maybe because this is an urban western. The peculiarity is that is a pacifist western, where you find a town that doesn't desire the use of arms but is very racist to Scott Mary. The arrival of Frank Talby demoster that it was a fake peace. In a little time, Talby-devil demonster that any gun can play. And you can see the transformation of a quiet man (but with gun in his heart) in a furious man of revenge, that finds a father in the old gunman. At the end Mary understand that the law of Talby (wich is the law of west) can't go on. So father and son meets theirself in a duel. Valerii's direction is good, and there is no only the Leone lesson. Actors are in role and secondary charachters are discreet. Only Gemma is a problem for me but is not very miscast; he have the face of a good boy, unlucky, that, for an instant, meets a change of fate.
