a minute to pray and a second to die be a quality spaghetti western with a solid cast and an interesting storyline . it be film beautifully and with a relatively high production value for a film in this genre . alex cord do a terrific job portray clay mccord and an outlaw who be suffer from increasingly debilitate seizure . he be seek amnesty before his enemy close in on him and but be be too cocky for his own good when he ask for it . robert ryan delivers the best performance in the film a the governor of new mexico . mario brega and arthur kennedy be also great here . this movie be very good and but it doesn not stand out to me a be one of the best spaghetti westerns out there . it lack too much in style to be in the same league a any of the great one . it do have some cool spaghetti overtone and but overall it a bit too much like an american western . this be especially evident in the music score and which be ok a movie go in general and but pretty dull by euro western standard . the soundtrack kind of reminds me of the music from the unforgiven . although there be an interesting story here and it be tell in a manner which be a bit too conventional for my taste . if a spaghetti western fan and a hollywood western fan have to watch a movie together and this one would be the perfect compromise . all of this be not to say that anyone should avoid this film . i do enjoy watch it very much . a i say and it be a very well do film and i recommend it to anyone who like western and spaghetti or otherwise .
