The idiosyncrasies are there, all right, but they have never seemed less interesting.
Features one of the most glorious and unforgettable scores by Leone's composer, Ennio Morricone.
The new print is good, and the 20 restored minutes are choice.
The combination of Leone's obsessive close-ups, Ennio Morricone's melodious music, and the comradely chemistry of Coburn and Steiger ignite an emotional explosion comparable to that of Once Upon a Time in the West.
A marvelous sense of detail and spectacular effects -- good fun all the way.
A fascinatingly disjointed hybrid of Western and combat film.
Impossibly virile and caustic
One of Leone's best movies -- and one of his looniest, which may be exactly why it's one of the best.
Not exactly classic Leone, but enjoyable nonetheless as many of the great elements are in place: maverick heroes, action, and Ennio Morricone music.
Leone's genius is clearly on display here, and it's a near-great film.
Well-plotted action, but as in most of Leone's films scenes seem to have been deleted from the American prints.
An awkward, overlong and overblown actioner that was only interesting in parts.
The most wry of the political spaghettis, and wholly wonderful.
Sergio Leone will rest in peace, now that this under valued film is finally restored ... retains its extraordinary power, driven in large part by the two central performances.
Woefully overlooked... Top-tier widescreen action... Ennio Morricone's enchanting score and Leone's trademark flourishes handshake in wild agreement. Sucker punches its way to the top of the Italian-western mountains.
