Length: 132 minutes
Synopsis: two bounty hunters are after a bank-robbing gang
How I saw it: on video a couple times, most recently (rented from Netflix) yesterday
Subjective Rating: 8/10 (Great).
Objective Rating: 9/10 (1 point off for pacing) c. 3.5/4 (Very good).

Great movie, but it's a little slow in places, and (like Fistful) not as good as I remembered it being. My least favorite of the "Dollars" trilogy (although that doesn't really say much against it).  It gets an 8 rather than a 7 largely because of Morricone's score.
