Review of For a Few Dollars More (1965) by Daniel P — 23 Sep 2012
I liked this better than the first in Leone's trilogy, a rare thing for me and a sequel. Here's why: the hero and his objectives were clearer and more accessible from the beginning. While Fistful of Dollars leaves you to deduce that Eastwood's character is playing both sides, in the second film, he has to get to a wanted baddie before Col.
Mortimer (Lee Van Cleef) in order to collect a huge bounty. The film that follows is dramatic, action-packed and beautifully shot, a perfect set up to the third and final installment, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, which I can't wait to see.
If it's truly the masterpiece it's rumoured to be, then this will be the only trilogy I've seen where the films get better as the series goes on.
