Super Fuzz—not a quality watch but cutely comical—entertains even though it relies on a predictable storyline. It completely satisfies Terence Hill fans.

Yes. Ernest Borgnine and Terence Hill make a good casting choice for this Italian film.
Red
River can
be a little campy, archaic, and weak in presentation at times. But there is an
art in the movie that cannot be denied…almost like a Picasso painting where everything
does not fit together perfectly but overall is likable in its uniqueness. John Wayne, Montgomery Clift, and Walter Brennan
capture a certain spirit of the age that refreshingly does not apologize for
its goals and how it gets those goals accomplished. Directors Howard Hawks and Arthur Rosson establish the movement of the movie. The movie could be almost called a cult classic. The film has a good, light conclusion. It is worth an
afternoon watch…maybe a couple of afternoons because it is over a 2-hour
entertainment piece.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. The movie shows its age both in
scripting and presentation. It’s an interesting study in vintage film-ology and
is a good picture to use if studying Walter Brennan, the Chisholm Trail, or
John Wayne films.
