Wendy Ide The Times (UK) 12/29/2023
Leone’s use of sparse, brooding silences and Ennio Morricone’s instantly recognisable score mean that the film’s soundtrack is just as effective as the striking visuals. Go to Full Review
Jake Cole Slant Magazine 05/24/2022
The stage is set here for Sergio Leone’s coming masterpieces, which would transcribe this intense, unsettling energy onto a canvas large enough to fit all of its splenetic, bloodletting rage. Go to Full Review

Doesn't have the narrative strength of the first in the trilogy but individual scenes are still brilliant and each ingredient in just perfect, cast, score, tone... Go to Full Review

Another packed Special Edition for a classic Sergei Leone western with shot-by-shot color grading in a wonderful 4K upgrade from Kino Lorber Studio Classics. Go to Full Review

While Eastwood is of course the star, this is arguably Van Cleef’s picture. Go to Full Review

Cinema greatness! And to top it off, Leone has to have some of the most interesting and strange looking people populating his film that you'd swear Fellini loaned him a band of extras. Go to Full Review

Rebecca L @RebeccaL 5d I think For a Few Dollars More is where the Dollars Trilogy hits its stride. It’s still got that slow, stylish vibe from Sergio Leone, but everything just feels more refined and intentional this time around. 🎭 The biggest thing? Lee Van Cleef steals the movie. Clint Eastwood is cool as always, doing his quiet thing — but Van Cleef’s character has depth and a personal reason for what he’s doing, which makes it way more interesting. And the villain (Gian Maria Volonté) is just… crazy. Way more unhinged than your typical western bad guy. 🎬 Not gonna lie — it’s slow. But in a good way. Leone drags out moments, the duels, and somehow that makes them way more intense instead of boring. It’s all about the buildup. You’re watching a staring contest turn into life-or-death. 🎵 The score by Ennio Morricone is 🔥 That pocket watch theme is stuck in my head. And I like how the music isn’t just background — it’s part of the story in some scenes. See more Michael J. @MilesJoesph069 Feb 13 Clint Eastwood was basically just the original Adam Sandler. Him and Sergio Leone just casted him and his friends in every movie. Still, the Man with No Name trilogy is the greatest film trilogy of all time, and ya’ll aren’t ready for that discussion See more Kevin P @RT55971421 Feb 3 A fantastic sequel with Clint Eastwood returning as the Man with No Name and teaming up with a rival bounty hunter played by Lee Van Cleef. They're both awesome in their own ways and their petty rival chemistry is so much fun to watch. The movie has great cinematography, especially when Lee Van Kleef stops the train and the final showdown. The main villain Indio is utterly despicable. I love how each main gun slinger has their own musical instrument leitmotif (flute, jaw harp, and music box). The climax is very exciting. There's a disturbing twist that Indio's supposed lost love was actually his unrequited assault victim and that he could never get his paws on, AND she was Mortimer's sister. It makes the final duel all the more satisfying when Mortimer gets his revenge. The film ends a great final shot of Eastwood pulls his bounties into the sunset. It's a great action adventure with a lot of heart with its three main characters. Easily the most underrated in the Dollars Trilogy. See more Heath D. @Heath_taz777 Jan 3 Awesome movie really good See more Frans B @FransB Nov 28 Masterpiece! Absolute iconic movie. Sergio Leone classic style and brilliantly brought to screen. Captivating story, well written. Ennio Morricone again hits the mark with his musical score. Legendary cast all excels in character. Clint Eastwood may be bada$$, but the music stops only when Lee Van Cleef walks into a bar 😜 A couple of "Hollywood rules" broken here, must have been shocking to watch at the time of production (in his defense, Leone was unaware of these rules then:) Must see, for sure See more kevenquinlan T @RT75276071 Nov 15 The sequel. Oddly much different than the first= every bit as awesome. The Dollars Trilogy (mostly 1 and 2) belong in any collection and the direction is really great for such an old movie.
