Every genre-loving moviegoer should see at least once projected on a theater screen.

The climatic bloodbath of A Fistful of Dollars still stings because the film's swaggering braggadocio deliberately fails to prepare us for it.

| Original Score: 4/4 | May 21, 2018

[Clint] Eastwood may not have been technically gifted, but he had plenty of star quality.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 13, 2018

A Fistful of Dollars has a cult, comic-book intensity. It is the punk rock of westerns.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 13, 2018

Once in a great while a western comes along that breaks new ground and becomes a classic of the genre.

This is a hard-hitting item, ably directed, splendidly lensed, neatly acted, which has all the ingredients wanted by action fans and then some.

Though far less operatic and satisfying than Leone's later work, his first spaghetti Western with Eastwood still looks stylish, if a little rough at the edges.

| Jan 26, 2006

Egregiously synthetic but engrossingly morbid, violent film.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 9, 2005

What more could a body want?
