IT CAN BE DONE AMIGO

Cinemavixion Review

Maurizio Lucidi's "It Can Be Done Amigo" (1972) is a curious blend of Western tropes and unexpected camaraderie. The narrative centers on a drifter, whose life is unexpectedly spared by a precocious child and a colorful gunfighter-pimp. What follows is a journey that challenges initial perceptions, as the drifter finds himself entangled in a promise to help the child secure a dubious inheritance. The film navigates themes of loyalty and unforeseen value, set against a backdrop where even 'worthless' land might hold a secret. Bud Spencer and Jack Palance deliver performances that oscillate between gruffness and a surprising warmth, anchoring the film's peculiar charm. While perhaps not a mainstream Western, its unique premise and character dynamics offer a refreshing, albeit unconventional, cinematic experience that rewards patient viewing.
