Audience Reviews for Faccia a faccia (Face to Face)

½

Sollima's following film after his outstanding The Big Gundown is this gripping Western that features Milian and Volonté as two very different men who start to become like each other - even though Volonté's character seems to change too fast and not in a very convincing way.

Fantastic performances from Milian and Volante, good direction and solid score from Morricone. I have my issues with the plot, mostly Volante's character switching gears so suddenly, and becoming a rapist, heartless bastard just like that. This might benefit from a rewatch.
