For a Few Dollars More (1965)



This is the second in the Sergio Leone "Man With No Name" trilogy. I was excited to see where Leone would take the character next, although according to what I read after-the-fact, Leone never intended the character to be viewed as the exact same person... kind of strange, but I can dig it... anyway...

The Good:
The story in this film pulls you in almost immediately. What happens when 2 bad asses find they are both on the trail of the same insane outlaw?
Eastwood and Kinski are so absolutely perfect in their roles in the movie.
The film contains humor and heart and great tension.
Again, the music was cool.
The cinematography was incredible, long shots contrasting with extreme close ups, so well done.

The Bad:

The ADR again was bad in some parts.
...um...there are some anachronisms in the film that are minor, but there...

Overall: I give this one a lit cigar, a poncho and a 84 % Braveheart .
