For a Few Dollars More

release year: 1965
genre: western
viewing setting: home DVD, 10/14/09 and 11/2/06 and 1/1/02

synopsis: Two bounty hunters are after the same scoundrel.

impressions: This is double the fun of A Fistful of Dollars, with two protagonists, each one an outstanding shot and a likeable antihero. They're after the same bandit - one for money, the other for revenge. They finally team up about an hour into the film and then the movie gets really good.

things to watch for: Clint and Lee van Cleef's competition of shooting prowess.

acting: Clint Eastwood does the exact same thing here as in the first movie. Lee van Cleef may actually be MORE of a badass. It's macho western heaven.

final word: Good western.
