Fistful of Dynamite

Leone's poorest outing. Thrown together for the benefit of studio fat cats, it lacks the poetic haunting qualities of his masterpieces and comes across as a vulgar stream of hackneyed images. Steiger does his best and shines on occasion, but can't take the tarnish of the overall quality of the film. Sloppy editing, and a distended and confusing storyline leave only the quality acting and undeniably brilliant action sequences to hold the whole thing up...

4/10

Kagemusha

Not Kurosawa's best work, but still well and truly above the realms of mortal film makers. Visually stunning, the mise en scene is incomparably brilliant. Words and ratings cheapen this film.
