Les Quatre de l'Ave Maria

Ace High is a film I always enjoy watching. It’s second of the duo Terence Hill and Bud Spencer, where they are still not throwing punches like on a treadmill. Sure, there are the requisite fights, but to a lesser extent than usual in films with this pair, especially at the beginning and then in the "final showdown". Rather, it's quite an interesting story, with Eli Wallach, again as an irresistible villain, hot on the heels of the central duo. The story has some interesting twists and turns and the final casino scene is hilariously put togeter. This film will not offend even those who don’t like these two brawlers. (01/06/2002)

A western from a more serious barrel, where everything doesn't revolve only around crazy brawls (nothing against them), but, on the contrary, the director works decently with the story itself and the fighting potential of the Hill-Spencer duo is used only in a precisely measured degree. Together with the great Wallach, they form a group that pulls the film without unnecessary talk, but with a sharply loaded gun and an uncontrollable desire for money. And that is exactly what made westerns westerns... (20/07/2012)

An enjoyable western by an Italian duo, joined by Eli Wallach and Brock Peters to form a foursome who decide to avenge Eli, who has been wronged. The western theme feels tailor-made, and fortunately, the comedic elements are rather sidelined, with Terence Hill portraying the classic tough guy, a role that suited him well. (12/05/2016)
