So I watched this 2 weeks ago and I'm still stunned by it.
It really deserves to be in IMDb's Top 10!

During the first half I thought "Hmm just as simple as that - this won't be in my top 10".
But then the shoe was on the other foot & then it turned again, and then again, ... and the ending was a bit different as I thought which I really liked :)

I loved the camera work - there were little moments of ego-perspective and sometimes the camera was placed little beside & above an arm holdig a gun pointing at the rival - which was perfect. Considering this was made in 1967 blows my mind - proof what a great director Sergio Leone was!
It's written pretty damn good, even that in the first 10 minutes nobody said a word ^^
It was all just eyes & footsteps, eyes & footsteps :D
It actually felt like a Quentin Tarantino production - I am very certain that his works were inspired by this!

There are just a few movies that didn't let me go afterwards & this is one of them.
I was whistling the soundtrack for days :)

So to all the 186 trakt users who have this on the watchlist I say:
Go for it - it's awesome!
