Mehr tot als lebendig

A Minute To Pray,A Second To Die is a good spaghetti western that I enjoyed watching. This story is taken from the point of view of the outlaw. Alex Cord plays a outlaw gunslinger that grows tired of his occupation and life of violence and in the process of trying to hang up his guns and get amnesty for his crimes, he must deal with both law enforcement and the criminal element to achieve a future peaceful life. This film is approached differently than most westerns of it's times and it gives Alex Cord a chance to play up his character's flaws. Our hero/lead is not really a good guy, but he has some redeeming decent qualities compared to most of the other characters in the film. The west is portrayed here in a very dark fashion, life is cheap and most of the people live in squalor and misery or are completely ruthless and amoral scum. Robert Ryan shows up later and gives the film a lot of class and a bad ass character with unwavering integrity. I found this to be a very interesting B movie that was approached differently and enjoyed it quite a bit. A Minute To Pray, A Second To Die is also a song from Buffalo Hardcore legends Zero Tolerance. ZT was Buffalo, NY's answer to bands like Leeway or CroMags, so if you are a fan of NYHC or thrash metal, than Zero Tolerance is a band you should check out. Oh, the film... A Minute To Pray,A Second To Die is a nice spaghetti western and worth checking out regardless of your taste in music.
