9/10
The rest is Western history.
17 December 2019
A true vision of the 'Wild West' frontier, from the Italian maestro Sergio Leone. All of his films apart from 'Duck, You Sucker!', are either perfect, or near perfect productions. I have a slight preference for the 'Dollars Trilogy' but this epic is simply magnificent. You just won't see a poor review to this one, as it's already a certified classic. Is highly ironic that 'A Fistful of Dollars' was so poorly received on its initial release but just four years later, the world had already bowed to the genius of both the director and especially Ennio Morricone (who scored the film, even before the first shot was filmed). A further masterstroke, was casting Henry Fonda, as the bad man and with a whole host of stars as the back up. Timeless in every aspect, coupled with some of the very finest gun-play.
