A Minute to Pray, a Second to Die Ratings & Reviews
- Mister ArnMay 24, 2025“A Minute to Pray, a Second to Die” is a grim spaghetti western steeped in fatalism. The pacing drags at times, and misleading flashbacks don’t help. Nearly everyone, except the hero, stumbling through the bloodshed toward uncertain redemption, meets a violent end.
- eif999January 26, 2025Back in the saddle with what turns out to be a great, American-style plate of Spaghetti. Robert Ryan shows up and everyone in town stares at him like he just stepped off of Mt. Rushmore. He immediately kicks everyone’s ass. Ryan combined with the traditional western classic movie soundtrack brought it up to a Hollywood A almost. There’s two versions out there. Look for the 1:58 version.
