Review of For a Few Dollars More (1965) by Michael S — 21 Mar 2010
The second of the "Dollars Trilogy", and another great Clint Eastwood western.
The three leads: Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Gian Maria Volonte, are phenomenal in this movie together.
While there are some minor quibbles regarding unlikely coincidences, and a plot hole here and there, the story is still interesting and exciting. Interestingly, while Clint Eastwood's character is in this movie, he's not really a focus of it. It's really a story of El Indio as he tries to deny the justice that inevitably comes to all of us. The Man With No Name is just the harbinger of that justice.
Once again, the style of the film is amazing and exciting, with Morricone's music creating a sweeping mood of suspense, tension and operatic scope.
Truly a gem to watch.
