Reviews for A Fistful of Dynamite
Not exactly classic Leone, but enjoyable nonetheless as many of the great elements are in place: maverick heroes, action, and Ennio Morricone music.
09/04/07
A marvelous sense of detail and spectacular effects -- good fun all the way.
01/01/00
Impossibly virile and caustic
09/06/09
Leone's genius is clearly on display here, and it's a near-great film.

One of Leone's best movies -- and one of his looniest, which may be exactly why it's one of the best.
04/16/08
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.

Top CriticFeatures one of the most glorious and unforgettable scores by Leone's composer, Ennio Morricone.

Top CriticThe idiosyncrasies are there, all right, but they have never seemed less interesting.

An awkward, overlong and overblown actioner that was only interesting in parts.
03/21/06
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.
12/02/03
The most wry of the political spaghettis, and wholly wonderful.
01/26/06
Well-plotted action, but as in most of Leone's films scenes seem to have been deleted from the American prints.
08/29/06
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.
