A Fistful of Dollars
From the borders of a dark city, a mysterious gunman comes to the city of San Miguel, the most dangerous city in its borders because of the spread of rift, greed, pride and terrorism. The gunman comes across the city's border to face two large gangs of smugglers trying to threaten poor people with weapons and murder in that isolated city, which looks like a good haven for gangs. This man will play on two sides and will face many challenges.

... this was a new kind of western: cynical, violent, stylish, and austere, playing out in a landscape of endless deserts and clapboard towns infested with gunmen.

The moment where Sergio Leone, anonymous costume drama hack turned into Sergio Leone, keen stylist and poet of cruelty.

From Clint Eastwood's iconic performance to Ennio Morricone's unforgettable (and much-parodied) musical score, A Fistful of Dollars (****) took the western down trails it had never explored.

What Leone does with this movie is boil the Western down to its very essence, removing all the extraneous parts.

Egregiously synthetic but engrossingly morbid, violent film.

This is a hard-hitting item, ably directed, splendidly lensed, neatly acted, which has all the ingredients wanted by action fans and then some.

Really little more than a series of loosely connected shoot-outs -- but, as Sergio Leone proved, there can be a lot of fun in that.

Though far less operatic and satisfying than Leone's later work, his first spaghetti Western with Eastwood still looks stylish, if a little rough at the edges.
