Review
Under further review, it is determined that the Dollars Trilogy (#015, #017, #019) qualify as "World cinema" films due to being released in Italy. As such, they are retroactively the first world cinema films reviewed on Movie Night. Redux Reviews of these movies will happen...someday.
Like The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, it has a compelling plot, a fight scene of mastery, a wonderful music scene, good acting and directing. The plot is allright, as it doesn't feel like you're watching a sequel, you're just watching a western that happens to be related to two other films. It's a good flick to watch just for ol' times sake or just needing to have some fun.
Overall, I give it 9 out of 10 stars.
