Leone's artful editing of close-ups to communicate the characters' spatial relationships is always a pleasure.

A hard-hitting western with upper-case values out of the busy Italo stable, this is a topnotch action entry.

A significant step forward from A Fistful of Dollars, with the usual terrific compositions, Morricone score, and taciturn performances, not to mention the ubiquitous flashback disease.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Rotten
The fact that this film is constructed to endorse the exercise of murderers, to emphasize killer bravado and generate glee in frantic manifestations of death is, to my mind, a sharp indictment of it as so-called entertainment in this day.
Bosley Crowther, New York Times

Here is a gloriously greasy, sweaty, hairy, bloody and violent Western. It is delicious.
