God's Gun is a 1976 western film that stars Lee Van Cleef, Jack Palance, and Richard Boone in leading roles. The movie is directed by Gianfranco Parolini and is celebrated for its quintessential representation of the Wild West era. The plot of the movie centers around an infamous outlaw named Sam Clayton, who has reformed and settled down as a preacher in a small desert town. Clayton's past, however, comes back to haunt him when his twin brother, who is still a notorious outlaw, comes to the town with his gang to settle an old score.

As the two brothers face off against each other, several other subplots develop in the movie. There is a love triangle that involves a local saloon owner, a cowboy, and an outlaw's widow. Additionally, the movie includes themes such as revenge and redemption, which are well-woven into the storyline.

The performances of the leading actors, Lee Van Cleef, Jack Palance, and Richard Boone are mesmerizing. The three veteran actors bring their A-game to the movie, and their chemistry on-screen is diverse and engrossing. Lee Van Cleef plays the dual roles of the preacher and the outlaw with ease and conviction.

Jack Palance, who plays the villainous twin brother of the preacher, is cast in a similar archetype to his other famous roles. Palance's portrayal of the ruthless and manipulative outlaw is chillingly powerful, and his on-screen presence is commanding.

Richard Boone, who plays the sheriff of the town, provides a powerful performance that is the perfect accompaniment to the other two leads. Boone's disillusioned lawman is a critical component of the movie, and his persona is as strong as the other two leads.

The cinematography of the movie is breathtaking, and the vast, dusty landscapes of the Wild West are captured exceptionally well. The movie's direction is excellent, with Parolini making the most of the movie's 94-minute runtime.

God's Gun's score is provided by the legendary Italian composer Paolo Vasile. The score is an excellent blend of the symphonic orchestral sounds that were popular in Hollywood at the time and the unique Italian "spaghetti western" sound. The main theme of the movie is particularly haunting and adds to the movie's emotional depth.

In conclusion, God's Gun is a classic western movie that is a must-watch for fans of the genre. The movie's unique plot and excellent performances make it stand out from other western movies of the time. The exceptional cinematography, direction, and score add to the movie's charm, making it a top-notch entry into the genre.

God's Gun is a 1977 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 37 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.0.
