Think about it. The main theme is greed, and the three main characters:
Hackman - The Good; he's a criminal but he's still got ethics and morals and his ways are unique and different from others
DeVito - The Bad; he screws over many people as the movie goes on, tries to get the money for himself and ends up dead
Rockwell - The Ugly; changes alliances many times but its clear he's working for himself, he ends up screwed over by The Good

What do you think?

well two years since uve posted this, and heres what i think...i think that if your comparing this movie to the good the bad and the ugly with these comparisons, then you may as well compare it to just about any other movie about three guys caught in a game of "cat and mouse"

"he's a criminal but he's still got ethics..."

im not so sure about that, but maybe i should read a few books on the ethics of stealing first.

Like Clooney says in FROM DUSK TILL DOWN "I am a bastard, but not a fu***ing bastard". That's what the other post meant.
