A film about the bandit Salvatore Giuliano.
Sinekatalog’s take
Michael Cimino's crime epic follows bandit Salvatore Giuliano in postwar Sicily. Handsome but heavy, with Christopher Lambert miscast, it is a bloated, flawed production that squanders its sweeping ambition.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
