Review of Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) by Joshua C — 29 Nov 2016
Just a wonderful film stem to stern, a Leone classic. Great cast, great story, and of course it's riddled with the Leone classic touch: the close ups, the drawn out tension building scenes, and of course just the true grit of all his westerns is all here.
If you're just looking for continuous action, you won't find it here. But the slow, measured pace is one element of the film that creates such impact. Bronson, Robards, Fonda, and Cardinale give great performances.
What else can you say but epic Sergio Leone.
