Sergio Leone's first spaghetti Western is now a deserved classic of the genre it invented. And it's got Clint. What more could you want? Full Review
Egregiously synthetic but engrossingly morbid, violent film. Full Review
Once in a great while a western comes along that breaks new ground and becomes a classic of the genre. Full Review
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. Full Review
This is a hard-hitting item, ably directed, splendidly lensed, neatly acted, which has all the ingredients wanted by action fans and then some. Full Review
