A Fistful of Dollars

A film review by Christopher Null - Copyright © 1999 Filmcritic.com

Call me a heathen, but this has never been one of my favorite spaghetti Westerns; Leone did much better work in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, the third film in this loose trilogy (Dollars is the first, For a Few Dollars More the second). A Fistful of Dollars is just one shootout after another without much rime or reason to any of it it, and both Leone and Eastwood can do better than that.

Aka Per un pugno di dollar.
