Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Lee Eisenberg The spaghetti western genre continued with Ferdinando Baldi's "Texas, addio" ("Goodbye, Texas" in English). Franco Nero - the original Django who had a bit part in Quentin Tarantino's movie as the man who knows that the D is silent - plays a sheriff going after the man who killed his father. This movie doesn't make any pretense about being a masterpiece. It's a typical spaghetti western with music that sounds like that of Ennio Morricone. And there's no shortage of fights to go around.The movie got filmed near where "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" got filmed at the same time, and so Franco Nero and Clint Eastwood occasionally took the time to socialize. Those guys are truly the icons of Euro-westerns. This looks as if it was a fun movie to film. I recommend it.PS: Franco Nero was in a relationship with Vanessa Redgrave for many years. They had a son who directed her in an adaptation of Wallace Shawn's politically charged play "The Fever", co-starring Michael Moore and Angelina Jolie.

bebop63-1 Quite pleasantly surprised by the quality of this movie. Sure, it's not perfectly made, the dubbing leaves much to be desired, as with most spag westerns that I've seen so far, but the cinematography is good - at least it goes to show the Spaniards are indeed capable of selecting appropriate locations to do their films, the fact that it's about two white gringos who travel to Mexico where most of the story occurs makes it more interesting. Franco Nero plays Burt Sullivan, a tough tin-star lawman with the reputation of being a quick draw on the pistol and capturing bad guys like rabbits. Weary of the adulation heaped on him, he leaves Texas on a personal quest to find and bring back to justice the man who murdered his father when he was a little boy. Accompaying him is his wet-behind-the-ears brother Jim, who has an eye for the ladies and draws banjo strings better than a gun, but whom Burt loves and protects nevertheless. They cross the Rio Grande to Mexico, asking for information about the man they seek. Turns out that he's the wealthiest and most feared despot for miles around. The revelation of a long-kept family secret complicates Burt's mission to capture the man. There's lots of action chili-peppered throughout the movie, the usual gunplay and brawls in the bar, and some torture scenes best left to the imagination. All in all quite watchable with a glass of Coke and nachos on the side.

spider89119 Before watching the movie, I watched the interview with Franco Nero that's on the disc. When he said that this western is "more like an American western" than any of his other movies I began to worry since I generally don't care for American westerns.The opening theme song of the movie is decidedly Euro-western, so that gave me some hope. Then the story began. The beginning scenes of the movie when they are in Texas are kind of hokey and corny in an American western sort of way, so I started to doubt the worth of this movie again. Fortunately this part of the movie is very short. The Sullivan brothers head off to Mexico and that's where the story unfolds and quickly becomes one hundred percent spaghetti western.The music score is very good, with lots of spaghetti style trumpets and guitar. The theme song becomes a haunting recurring melody.Franco Nero gives another action packed performance in this movie. His character, Burt Sullivan, has an uncanny ability with a gun that's reminiscent of Django. Jose Suarez is excellent in the role of the slimy land baron who murdered Sullivan's father, and Jose Guardiola is great as his cultured crony McLeod.Needless to say, this movie was much better than I expected after hearing Franco Nero's comments. This is definitely not an American western! If you like your spaghetti westerns packed with action and revenge Franco Nero style, do yourself a favor and check this one out.

unbrokenmetal Sold (in Germany) as "Django 2", because it starred Franco Nero, many people expected another masterpiece such as Corbucci's original "Django", which "Texas Addio" certainly isn't. But compared to the average spaghetti western it still is a well made revenge story that will entertain most watchers. If they enjoy a bunch of cliches, like the lonely hero riding into the dying sun at the end of the movie...
