06/04/2013 This is one of those movies that is just plain great. I would recommend this movie to anyone, not just spaghetti western fans. Tony Anthony is great in this movie. This is the second Anthony spaghetti western that I have seen, and the other one (A Dollar Between the Teeth) is incredible also. After seeing this film, I am convinced that Tony Anthony deserves more recognition as a spaghetti western star than he has gotten. He belongs right up there with Nero, Gemma, Eastwood, and Milian (no one comes close to Lee Van Cleef). His character in this film is one tough hombre. He really takes a beating, but always returns to create Hell on Earth for his enemies. He has a lot of great lines in this movie too. The movie really stretches ones suspension of disbelief when the blind man is able to ride a horse to Mexico, and when he exhibits his uncanny ability to aim a gun, but this is such a high-quality film that it manages to pull it off with ease. The music score is excellent -a great classic spaghetti western sound with a little bit of sitar thrown in. Besides being a spaghetti western, this film also borrows some elements from exploitation movies, (lots of scantily clad and naked women, women behind bars, etc.) but manages to do it without sacrificing the quality of the movie. Fans of both genres should be especially pleased with this film. This is a must-see for spaghetti western fans, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys movies that are somewhat off-beat, and very well made. 3 1/2 stars 5-31-13 See more 12/20/2012 Interesting premise is marred by uneven pacing and dubbing.

See more 08/29/2012 Blindman feels like a pure spaghetti western with great music, a badass lead character, cool shootouts, and lots of nude scenes. Although, Blindman doesn't do any of those things as well as some of the better films of the era and genre. Except for the nudity. The crazy premise will keep you interested though. See more 08/26/2012 cheeky little spaghetti western featuring gringo starr. ok. See more 08/01/2011 If I got anything from this film it's that blind people can be assholes too. This was a very entertaining piece of low brow western cinema. The premise itself being pretty darn low: a blind cowboy loses his 'cargo' to a band of rapist dirty mexican two timing bandits....not so bad you say?...well that 'cargo' happens to be 50 gorgeous women who have been betrothed to some miners in some Podunk town in the good ol' USA, by mail order of course. Little mention of how the women came to 'meet' the miners or what the situation was, one can only assume that the women will be ravaged by their 'husbands' just as they were by the mexicans. Again feminists need not apply, and probably none will...what femenist watches some early 70's Euro-Western starring Ringo Starr? To the nitty gritty: The movie was fairly well acted, this is my first Tony Anthony film and it surely won't be my last. He has some mojo for sure....not your usual tough guy mojo though. He gets beat pretty bad, but always somehow manages to come out ok. But I'm reluctant to rank him up there with the likes of Zatoichi. Ringo is actually not bad as the bandit leaders brother. Magda Konopka, who plays their sister, could have been the hottest of all 50+ women in the film. There was also some hardcore over acting done by Raf Baldassarre as the Mexican army general. Overall the story basically consisted of the Blindman and his amazing horse, losing the women, getting beat up, finding the women, getting beat up and then losing them only to get them back....repeat a few more times. Along the way we laugh at his jokes, cringe at some of his antics, and watch women get treated like cattle. Tony comes across as really determined, and in effect sometimes seems like he's being an ass, but this is offset by the fact that he is blind and does appropriately get pummeled pretty good through out the film. I'd ultimately say it's worth a watch if you into the genre. See more Read all reviews
