Wendy Ide The Times (UK) Dec 29, 2023
Leone’s use of sparse, brooding silences and Ennio Morricone’s instantly recognisable score mean that the film’s soundtrack is just as effective as the striking visuals. Go to Full Review Jake Cole Slant Magazine May 24, 2022
The stage is set here for Sergio Leone’s coming masterpieces, which would transcribe this intense, unsettling energy onto a canvas large enough to fit all of its splenetic, bloodletting rage. Go to Full Review Kim Newman Empire Magazine Aug 13, 2012
4/5
Doesn't have the narrative strength of the first in the trilogy but individual scenes are still brilliant and each ingredient in just perfect, cast, score, tone... Go to Full Review Peter Canavese Celluloid Dreams Jun 27, 2022

Another packed Special Edition for a classic Sergei Leone western with shot-by-shot color grading in a wonderful 4K upgrade from Kino Lorber Studio Classics. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Jun 4, 2022

While Eastwood is of course the star, this is arguably Van Cleef’s picture. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Nov 21, 2020

Cinema greatness! And to top it off, Leone has to have some of the most interesting and strange looking people populating his film that you'd swear Fellini loaned him a band of extras. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Per S @RT83737705 Aug 23, 2026 Sergio Leone's second film in the Dollar Triology continues where the first ended, and is perhaps even more ruthlessly violent, but also better prepared cinematographically. Not a rip off, it's based on the bounty hunter myth, full of western clichés, and with Clint Eastwood is up against Lee van Cleef for the first time. They hunt down Gian Maria Volontè, who also was the villain in Leone's first western. With the ingenious music score by Ennio Morricone this is a full fledged introduction to the two real western classics from the Italian director. See more Kenneth L @RT28484096 Aug 2, 2026 Watched this for the first time in 2026. It definitely shows its age, but it still holds up. See more Marion J @Epitaph Jul 18, 2026 For me, the best film of the Dollars Trilogy. It never tires, the casting is PERFECT and it does not need to grab you by the hand and constantly explain you stuff. It just leaves you alone to either understand it at the time or figure it all out later. Music is great, Ennio Morricone and Alessandro Alessandroni collaborate once again and the outcome is astonishing! Acting is phenomenal from both the main and secondary cast. Scenery, dialogue and plot takes you right in the Wild West! 10/10 film. See more Bruno C P @RT93519273 Jun 5, 2026 As good as the first movie of the Trilogy, the catch is Lee's support for Eastwood and the great duo they make on this one. See more Jerod S @jeroduptown Jun 1, 2026 Solid ride-off-into-the-sunset sequel for Eastwood. Western at its finest. See more Benjamin W. @Code70 May 11, 2026 One of the greatest sequels of all time that surpasses the original. If you ask me, For a Few Dollars More is even better than A Fistful of Dollars, which I also loved. It’s tightly written, has more complex themes it’s dealing with, is bigger in scope and size, all while taking the original concept, and adding to it. The result? A genre-defining classic that still holds up impressively well today. Pretty incredible filmmaking right here. A perfect bridge in one of the all-time great movie trilogies. See more Read all reviews
