      Chicago Reader

      Though ordained from the beginning, the three-way showdown that climaxes the film is tense and thoroughly astonishing.

      Chicago Tribune

      An improbable masterpiece -- a bizarre mixture of grandly operatic visuals, grim brutality and sordid violence that keeps wrenching you from one extreme to the other.

      There are two kinds of people, my friend. Those who love Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, and those who resist the machismo and gallows humor of what is arguably the definitive spaghetti western.

      All told, and in giant widescreen, it's only blood-red adolescent fun, but it blooms like Douglas Sirk with a Gatling gun compared to the teenage demographic's current fare. Matrix, schmatrix: This is the season's supreme party movie.

      A curious amalgam of the visually striking, the dramatically feeble and the offensively sadistic.
