Leone's pulpy, trend-setting parody -- a rip-off of Kurosawa's Yojimbo -- hog-tied the Western and dragged it into the modern age, branding it with baroquely big close-ups and Ennio Morricone's famously eclectic score.

The film that made Eastwood Eastwood is a fantastic Western classic.

Very much an act of sardonic disrespect toward the genre, yet it's also a legitimate passion play

Awesome.

It's Leone's shortest and simplest film, but all of his hallmarks -- a masterly use of space within the widescreen frame, Ennio Morricone's unusual soundtrack music, plenty of silence -- are already in place.

The first (and nearly the best) of Eastwood & Leone's spaghetti westerns.

If Eastwood gives you a buzz, by all means lap this up. It's a lot of fun, without a lot of thought required.

A clever film, shot with sophistication, which ... propelled Eastwood to international stardom.

Sergio Leone turns the Western on its ear with this iconic updating of the samurai classic Yojimbo.

From Clint Eastwood's iconic performance to Ennio Morricone's unforgettable (and much-parodied) musical score, A Fistful of Dollars (****) took the western down trails it had never explored.
06/22/06
Egregiously synthetic but engrossingly morbid, violent film.
