Once Upon A Time In The West (1968)

Once Upon A Time In The West (1968)

One of my buddies gave me Once Upon a Time in The West as a reference to some Tarantino influence as he saw it. For me it was a Western and I love Westerns so it didn’t take any kind of urging for me to see it.

If you ever read a review that uses the word boring to completely discredit a movie without any explanations why, you should probably stop reading. What I saw in this movie, was a masterpiece of excellent acting,...
