Those Dirty Dogs, a spaghetti Western from 1973, directed by Giuseppe Rosati, follows two bounty hunters, Roy Fulton (Gianni Garko) and Jeff Clayton (Stephen Boyd), as they team up to track down and capture a dangerous outlaw named Bill Thompson (Howard Ross). The movie opens with Roy and Jeff on their own separate assignments. Roy safely delivers a captured criminal to the town of San Bernardino and takes a break at the local saloon. Meanwhile, Jeff is in jail after being caught attempting to rob a train. After escaping with the help of a fellow inmate, Jeff sets out to clear his name and track down the real culprits behind the robbery. Roy and Jeff cross paths and quickly learn that they are after the same man, Thompson.

Thompson is a notorious criminal, and the bounty on his head is worth a hefty sum. With this common goal, Roy and Jeff agree to work together, but it isn't an easy partnership. Roy is a seasoned, no-nonsense bounty hunter who prefers to work alone, while Jeff is more impulsive and inexperienced. Their uneasy alliance is tested several times as they pursue Thompson and encounter various obstacles along the way.

As they chase after Thompson, they are joined by a group of Mexican bandits, who become an unexpected ally, aiding Roy and Jeff in their pursuit of the outlaw. But catching Thompson isn't going to be easy, as he turns out to be more dangerous and elusive than they anticipated. With a trail of dead bodies behind him and the possibility of more, Thompson is determined to evade capture at any cost.

Together, Roy and Jeff must use every trick in their arsenal to outsmart Thompson and bring him to justice. However, they soon find themselves in over their heads as they fall into a web of corruption and betrayal that will challenge their skills and test their loyalties.

The movie features some thrilling shootouts, horseback chases and stunning landscapes that capture the essence of classic Westerns. The performances of the main cast, particularly Gianni Garko and Stephen Boyd, are commendable in portraying their respective characters' complexities. Howard Ross delivers a menacing performance as the villainous Thompson, making him a formidable foe for the bounty hunters.

Overall, Those Dirty Dogs manages to entertain with its action-packed set pieces and a decent storyline that will keep viewers engaged from start to finish. It's an unpretentious spaghetti Western that pays homage to the classics of the genre.

In conclusion, Those Dirty Dogs is definitely one to watch for fans of the Western genre, as well as those looking for a thrilling adventure with plenty of gunfights and thrilling chases.
