Different, but great

Rating: 10/10 (9 July 2007)

I had just purchased and watched the film, Duck, you Sucker and it really wasn't what I had expected. It was signature Leone, but held an almost dark mysteriousness to it. The comedic moments are frequent in the first half, but as you get closer to the ending, the rampant emotion leaves you in very solemn mood. It was great overall, not as long as I was expecting either, but that is what I love about Leone's films, the patience. All acting was great, and the music (allthough you cant beat "ecstasy of gold" in GBU) was pretty good. The explosions were epic and the scenes memorable. It is now a favorite but don't expect a "feel good" movie, whatever that is.
oh yeah, take note of steigers performance and think about pacino in scarface. ring a bell? "those damned locusts!" (refering to the Mexican soldiers) - juan (steiger) don't know if I've "spoiled" anyones fun, put it on anyhow.
