Two bounty hunters with the same intentions team up to track down a Western outlaw. For a Few Dollars More benefits from Eastwood's and Cleef's great perfomances even tho it never reaches the heights of 'Good, The Bad and the Ugly' at no point plus the theme song is pretty damn memorable and the West is being shown in all of it's full glory and in the end it's definitely a movie that fans of both of those actors will enjoy but remember it's nowhere near as great as that previous movie that was just an amazing film but please do check it out. (7.5/10)

It's funny how I don't consider myself a fan of Westerns, yet I've seen and absolutely loved all the classic Westerns. "High Noon", "Stagecoach", "Red River", and the dollars trilogy are among the best films ever made. We start Sequel Month with one of the best sequels ever made! Sadly, this is as good as this month's sequels will get. The basic plot is that two gunmen are after the same outlaw and try to work together. The key word here is "try".Many movies are great because of how well the characters work off of each other. Although there's only two characters that really do this in the film, it's still done wonderfully. This movie was made before movie ratings were established in the United States. I would think the action wouldn't hold up. I was so pleasantly surprised to find out that it still has action that holds up after fifty years! I just love the atmosphere of the film too.A lot of films suffer from having close ups that make everything look ugly. This may be the best usage of it ever in cinema. The great poses and facial expressions these characters make steal the show. The sets and locations just look so beautiful. It's enjoyable the whole way through and doesn't even build up to that much of a climax. As the last chronological film in the series, I can say it's one of the best ever made. ****

Have you ever been to Tucumcari? What about White Rocks? Maybe El Paso? Santa Cruz, Las Palmeras, Aguascalientes? You haven't even heard of these places? They are in Texas, New Mexico and Mexico! No problem, everything was filmed in Spain anyway. However, EL INDIO, a crazy and very dangerous bandit, is off to these localities and a $ 10,000 reward has been put on his head. At the end, Clint Eastwood, the only one who is still alive even today, is leaving with all the money. Just to have an idea... Now, we have a very young Klaus Kinski, in a small but great role, maybe his greatest. Then, we have a few long-term collaborators of Mr. Leone, some Italian, some Spanish, but all unique figures, faces you can not easily forget: Mario Brega, Luigi Pistilli, Aldo Sambrell, Benito Stefanelli (also stunt director), Enrique Santiago, Lorenzo Robledo. There is also the old and funny Joseph Egger, Austrian actor who had a similar role in "A Fistful of Dollars". Great cinematography by Massimo Dallamano, who worked with Leone also on "A Fistful of Dollars". Probably the most beautiful soundtrack ever written for a film, signed by the great Ennio Morricone. They should also be mentioned here: Bruno Nicolai (conductor), Alessandro Alessandroni, musician: whistling and guitar (uncredited), Bruno Battisti D'Amario, musician: guitar (uncredited), Nino Culasso, musician: trumpet (uncredited), Maurizio Graf, singer (uncredited). Last but not least, the 3 main actors, all three great great actors, unfortunately 2 of them, who are not anymore alive, unknown or completely forgotten. Everybody knows Clint Eastwood so, no need to comment on something. Lee Van Cleef was and remains a very special actor, unmistakable due to his face (especially his eagle nose) from many successful action films. And Gian Maria Volontè, few know this, so I will repeat it until I die, Gian Maria Volontè was and remains simply the greatest actor of all time!

Leone's true masterpieces, and quite possibly Leone's most "watchable" film. A Fistful of Dollars is a great film: revolutionary, gritty, violent, and fun, and it certainly was the true beginning of a monumental change in westerns. However, this is the first film where Leone's brilliance fully comes to the front. On the other hand, while not quite as famous (in the English-speaking world) as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (GBU) and perhaps not quite as great a cinematic achievement as GBU or Once Upon a Time in the West (OUTIW), this film is nevertheless not far behind those clear masterpieces. The characteristic Leone visual style and incredible artistry are very powerful here. Although some of this is evident in small amounts in the previous film, here we really get to see the incredible, revolutionary close-ups and the contrast between close- ups and long shots. These and other images are powerful and beautiful. The film also brings the deliberate pacing and wonderful, almost unbearable, build-up of tension before quick action. Leone's sense of irony and brilliant weaving together of various motifs and symbols (particularly religious) also comes to the forefront in this film, as does the humour. Just seeing the quality of the images, the photography, and the cool faces (I can't imagine a western hunter with other type of face), makes this movie excellent. The plot is not very complicated and you can argue some decisions made by the villain, but even with that, I think is very intelligent and probably by that you can't guess what is next. Eastwood, Cliff and 'El Indio' are good in their roles and the direction of Leone is superb. No doubt, Leone can be considered the best western director of all time, not by one movie but for his complete work. This would be the only film from the Dollars Trilogy (between A Fistful of Dollars and The Good, The Bad.& the Ugly) that isn't an Empire 5-star rated film. So, in order to complete the trilogy, I decided to watch this one anyway to satisfy my need for completion to see why it wasn't awarded the prestigious five stars. Compared with A Fistful Of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More is a far more developed film, albeit a completely different story. The stories lead into each other though (although you don't need to watch the first to understand the second), as The Man With No Name continues his bounty work which we are introduced to in the predecessor. As "Fistful" did, "Few Dollars More" has plenty of throwaway moments and parts that are shallow and uninteresting, but the style is one all of its own and Leone deserves continued celebration for the way his movies rewrote the essentials of the Western formula. Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef are bounty hunters on the trail of El Indio (Gian Maria Volontè). Eastwood is out for the money, but Van Cleef has other motives. Bullets fly, bodies are stacked like cord wood, and the action never stops all to incredible music by Ennio Morricone. The movie far outshines most of American westerns.Lee Van Cleef is great as veteran bounty killer and the same goes to Clint Eastwood. Gian Volante puts up a good performance as the evil Indio. The plot is a little slow but look at "High Noon" or any of the other old westerns.An all time great western!! performance of "El Indio" in this movie is real high class no doubt.
