Sergio Leone's masterpiece, this is simply epic.
Bringing all of the hallmarks that he had so flawlessly practiced in the previous 'Dollars' films (A Fistful of Dollars and A Few Dollars More), but applying them to a more sprawling, though not particularly complex plot.
Clint is back, and in imperious form as The Man With No Name, dripping charisma and screen presence everytime he appears, but it is perhaps Lee Van Cleef who deserves the most recognition on the acting front, as his villain is sinister and suave.
Of course, the most famous thing about the movie, besides the Mexican Stand Off at the end, is the muscial score, which is just mind blowing.
Simply put, one of the best films ever made.
