A Fistful of Dollars
A mysterious and powerful armed man who comes to the border town of San Miguel, full of rupture, greed, pride and terrorism, the most dangerous city in its borders because of gangs. The mysterious gunman comes across the city's border with two major gangs of the city's most dangerous smugglers, the two most rival gangs in the region. The gangs are trying to threaten poor citizens with murder, control and exploitation in this isolated city, which is a good haven for gangs. That mysterious man will win all sides to play two points at once.

The moment where Sergio Leone, anonymous costume drama hack turned into Sergio Leone, keen stylist and poet of cruelty.

This is a hard-hitting item, ably directed, splendidly lensed, neatly acted, which has all the ingredients wanted by action fans and then some.
January 01, 2000
Really little more than a series of loosely connected shoot-outs -- but, as Sergio Leone proved, there can be a lot of fun in that.

Guns galore in intro "spaghetti Western" serving.

... this was a new kind of western: cynical, violent, stylish, and austere, playing out in a landscape of endless deserts and clapboard towns infested with gunmen.

Once in a great while a western comes along that breaks new ground and becomes a classic of the genre.

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.

Westerns were never the same after Sergio Leone.

Egregiously synthetic but engrossingly morbid, violent film.
July 12, 2010
What Leone does with this movie is boil the Western down to its very essence, removing all the extraneous parts.
January 26, 2006
Though far less operatic and satisfying than Leone's later work, his first spaghetti Western with Eastwood still looks stylish, if a little rough at the edges.
