Reception
[edit | edit source]In a contemporary review, the Monthly Film Bulletin described the film as a "lavishly staged" and "shot in pale, restrained colours, this Italian spectacle reduces dialogue to the minimum and concentrates on as varied a display of violent action as the most eager fan could wish for, ranging from ambushes in the forest to bloody underground revolutions and equally savage gladiatorial contests."[5] The review noted that "one has to forget the vapid, dubbed dialogue, and lumbering acting (the one exception being Philippe Leroy's villainous, cold-eyed Silla)."[5] The review also noted the second-unit director Riccardo Freda, noting that "The arena scenes, in particular, are directed with a fine sense of movement and camera style by Riccardo Freda, who has now joined that select band of second unit directors on whom this kind of film tends to rely."[5]
