LEONE'S REVAMP OF THE WESTERN
by Geary A., Jones
Sergio Leone pretty much re-invented the western with A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS, and in the process breathed new life into a near-dead genre, and Eastwood made a squint-eyed, taciturn anti-hero into an icon. The highly ritualized gunfights, and violence are as orchestrated as any ballet, and are set to an unforgettable Ennio Morricone score. A must have for Eastwood, or western fans.
5/5
A Fistful Of Dollars.
by Jose Lopez (Miami,Florida USA)
A Fistful of Dollars, A Sergio Leone Masterpiece, A True Western, A Classic. Although I prefer For a Few Dollars More.. and My Favorite The Good,The Bad,The Ugly. This movie does not Disappoint. Classic Clint. A Must have!
Make sure to Get This along with For A Few Dollars More,The Good,The Bad And The Ugly, and Hang Em' High(Not leone but good) all great.
5/5
One of my favorite westerns. A timeless classic
by Andrew (Somewhere)
Excellent movie. Lots of shooting. Clint Eastwood makes his debut of "The Man With No Name". Although most people credit "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly" as being the best film out of the trilogy, I disagree. This film has a lot more action (don't get me wrong, The Good The Bad, And The Ugly was also an excellent movie). Along with Open Range, this is my favorite western. A Fistful Of Dollars is a must for any western fan.
4/5
3 stars out of 4
by One-Line Film Reviews (Easton, MD)
The Bottom Line:
A clever updating of Yojimbo, "Fistful" sometimes reveals its low-budget origins but is certainly worth a look for anyone who enjoys westerns.
3/5
Just Another Spaghetti Western...
by Gautam De (New Jersey, USA)
If you have already watched Sergio Leone's other western movies like 'For a Few Dollars More' or 'Once Upon A Time In The West', you better avoid this one. Sheer repeat. Only unique feature is Ennio Morricone's music. Rest, just another western movie based on a small town of a single road. Setting is not that ambitious in this one.
Eastwood is also all the same - not able to escape the sheer monotonous look of the other western movies of Leone. He does not look to have even a clear agenda in this edition!
For a fresher, this is a try, but not before the couple of movies mentioned above.

A Fistful of Dollars
launched the spaghetti Western and catapulted Clint Eastwood to stardom. Based on Akira Kurosawa's 1961 samurai picture
Yojimbo
, it scored a resounding success (in Italy in 1964 and the U.S. in 1967), as did its sequels,
For a Few Dollars More
and
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
. The advertising campaign promoted Eastwood's character--laconic, amoral, dangerous--as the Man with No Name (though in the film he's clearly referred to as Joe), and audiences loved the movie's refreshing new take on the Western genre. Gone are the pieties about making the streets safe for women and children. Instead it's every man for himself. Striking, too, was a new emphasis on violence, with stylized, almost balletic gunfights and baroque touches such as Eastwood's armored breastplate. The
Dollars
films had a marked influence on the Hollywood Western--for example, Sam Peckinpah's
The Wild Bunch
--but their most enduring legacy is Clint Eastwood himself.
--Edward Buscombe
