A Fistuf of Dollars… what a great movie that was. Clint Eastwood acting as the main character, this is one of the best wild west movies ever made. This movie genre is known as a Spaghetti Western. It means these movies were directed by an Italian and produced with an Italian, with a Spanish partner usually.
A Man with No Name arrives to a little town in North Mexico. He wants to make money there. He sees there are two mafia families living there and arguing. He works for both of the families and turns them against each other in order to make money. He isn’t only a smart person, he is also an amazing shooter. He can hit a single rope with a bullet from 50 meters away.
Even though this movie is a shooter type, it is not very bloody, and can be watched by boys and girls from anyone from 12 and up. Only reason for that is the complicated plot and some shooting that happens.
The film surprised me once again, like some other old movies that I’ve seen. I honestly didn’t know old movies could be so good. The quality of audio and picture are not so great, but overall the plot and the actors were very decent. I really liked the way Clint Eastwood played his role: quiet, self-determined and brave.
If I was to give out stars for this movie, it would totally deserve at least 4 stars, if not 5.
