This pulse-pounding follow-up to Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars brings back Clint Eastwood as the serape-clad, cigar-chewing "Man With No Name." Engaged in an ongoing battle with bounty hunter Col. Douglas Mortimer (Lee Van Cleef), the Man joins forces with his enemy to capture homicidal bandit Indio (Gian Maria Volontè). Both the Eastwood and Van Cleef characters are given understandable motivations for their bloodletting tendencies, something that was lacking in A Fistful of Dollars. In

The fact that this film is constructed to endorse the exercise of murderers, to emphasize killer bravado and generate glee in frantic manifestations of death is, to my mind, a sharp indictment of it as so-called entertainment in this day.
Here is a gloriously greasy, sweaty, hairy, bloody and violent Western. It is delicious.
Most fans pick The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly as the stand-out, but I really like this one best.

The amoral film should give the less hardy pause as to its relevance or worth or endorsement for vigilante justice.
Every scene crackles with energy.
By introducing the character of Mortimer, Leone is able to counterpoint Eastwood's cold, amoral gunslinger with a man who has a past and a purpose.
Another must-see Italian speghetti western.
Clint's spaghetti oater #2 has its stylistic, no-name moments.
I think this is the first time that I've rated a Sergio Leone film lower than 5 stars, but I have my reasons. For a Few Dollars More, being the third in the "Dollars trilogy" (or the "Man with No Name" trilogy, if you buy into that marketing strategy), is not quite up to snuff with the other entries in the series - or

Volonte steals the movie from Eastwood and Lee in many ways.
