“While the film is arguably straightforward and predictable, stylistically, it’s magnificent and beautiful to look at. Leone (here credited as Bob Robertson) was famous for his extreme close-ups and his refreshing take on realism in the genre. A Fistful of Dollars is remarkably violent and realistic in it’s depiction of the West as a vile, violent, and unjust universe.”
