¨One by One without mercy" is an exciting western that contains a story full of violence and vengeance , good dramatic pace , plot twists and slick direction . Agreeable Chorizo-Spaghetti Western mostly produced by Spain and Italian secondary participation ; it follows the Sergio Leone wake , including close-up , zooms , choreographic duels and no being proceeded in American style . The film packs action , shootouts , drama , high body-count and it's fast moving , being quite entertaining and approaching increasingly Leone Italian style , but keeping some details that make it special in this particular genre . It's a thrilling western with spectacular outdoors and breathtaking confrontation among heartless protagonists Peter Lee Lawrence and William Bogart ; and both of them against Sydney Chaplin , Eduardo Fajardo and their underlings . Acceptable action sequences with rousing crossfire and spectacularly bloody shootouts . Charismatic performance for whole casting .
