Chicago Reader review:
Sergio
Leone's comic, cynical, inexplicably moving epic spaghetti western
(1966), in which all human motivation has been reduced to greed—it's
just a matter of degree between the Good (Clint Eastwood), the Bad (Lee
Van Cleef), and the Ugly (Eli Wallach). Leone's famous close-ups—the
"two beeg eyes"—are matched by his masterfully composed long shots,
which keep his crafty protagonists in the subversive foreground of a
massively absurd American Civil War. Though ordained from the beginning,
the three-way showdown that climaxes the film is tense and thoroughly
astonishing.
