MCT:July 28, 2008An innocent rancher is strung up by a lynch mob but recovers and becomes a lawman set on tracking down the would-be killers. Made directly after Clint's successful collaborations with Sergio Leone, this is Hollywood's attempt to cash in on his newfound fame. Unfortunately it falls short of aping the spaghetti western classics thanks to efficient but artless direction and a less than stellar supporting cast. There's a memorable appearance by Dennis Hopper in an early role but his character is all too quickly disposed of, and the film stalls at exactly the wrong moment because of a rather pointless and logic-free romantic interlude. Clint's steely eyed charisma does manage to carry it though, and there are a couple of decent sequences, but the ending felt like a TV pilot and it comes across as exactly what it is; a pale imitation of a Leone western.

Clint is highly strung in this one! Hey come on, I could have said he was well-hung (Whoops - I just did)!
-
MCT:April 13, 2008This is a good movie. Clint Eastwood was hot in it so that was a bonus. The part that I really didn't like was when they were hanging those guys. :( That was pretty sad.

Another classic Eastwood film. And to add Dennis Hopper to the film it is almost guaranteed to have to be seen.

Usually don't like westerns, but this one moves along quite nicely. Well drawn too, it's easy to understand where the "villains" are coming from. No one here is made of cardboard.

I really like the western genre and Eastwood is sort of a housegod here, (among otherrs...) This is great!

Wow I've seen so many darn Clint Eastwood movies lately...whew! This one is one of the better ones actually. Heck how often do you survive your own murder and get to go after your killers. Pretty darn good for the time it was made...

Well, I am a Eastwood nut, so about everything he did I liked. There were a whole series of these cheesy westerns that were filmed abroad, but were actually pretty good viewing. They, at the very least, fit Eastwoods persona. I thought one of the best of the bunch was one called "The outlaw, Josey Wales." But, the viewer really has to pick and choose. They are all entertaining.

A posse of men become a self appointed judge and jury and hang an innocent man--but he doesn't die. This is where Clint, great as always, becomes a Marshall and hunts them all down.....his character isn't evil though, since he allows some of them to live :) The story is really good, lags just a wee bit, but I really liked it!! VHS.

An occasionally brilliant look at how subjective the concept of justice is, and how more often than not the established justice system resembles vengeance much more than it does any sort of higher value system. Without realizing it, Clint Eastwood has shown very well the futility of the death penalty.
-
MCT:December 19, 2007The first and the best of the spaghetti western. The movie that made Clint Eastwood a star and one of my very favorite westerns. I have no idea why this listing says that Ted Post directed this. It was directed by Serigo Leone. Never mind, I'll write Flixster. I can't believe any of you have never seen this but if you haven't and you in any shape or form like westerns then you have to see this movie.

This movie was alright. It didn't hold my interest at times. There were some good parts in the movie.

a little bit strange to see Clint entirely on the side of the law, but still pretty damn good. if only the resolution was a little bit more fulfilling and the score didn't suck.
-

Another great Clint Eastwood movie. And I thought the cast was brilliant! I wish i was born earlier enough to see more movies from this cast. I loved this movie nonetheless. I just was hoping for it to be a little longer, and a bit more clear. I found some parts to throw me off.

A great performance by Clint and Hingle as the judge. Clint has to work within the law to get his revenge after being wrongfully accused. Quite the little offer the judge gives him.
-

I good telling of a man wrongly hung for cattle rustling by a mob and the lawful revenge Clint Eastwood acts as a Marshal with a hanging scar on his neck. I great role for Clint Eastwood and a good role for Pat Hingle as the Hanging judge.

Eastwood turns in essentially the same performance as in his other Westerns of the area (though this is NOT a "Spaghetti Western"), but this stands out from many of the others thanks to a solid, fast moving revenge film.
-
MCT:May 30, 2007
A decent western that's an obvious attempt by Hollywood to capitalize on Leone's spaghetti western classics. Eastwood is at his usual best, but Pat Hingle shines in his performance as a vindictive hanging judge.

If only we could all become lawmen just for the single purpose of having a legal sanction for going and killing all our enemies.

Clint Eastwood once again does what he does best in this Western about justice and revenge.
Lynched for a crime that he did not commit, Jed Cooper (Eastwood) seeks justice against the nine men who tried to kill him. On the way he gets the job as Marshall so he can bring the men in legally. Pat Hingle also stars as Judge Fenton who seeks justice, but only of his own choosing.
Although not the best Western by Eastwood this is still an enjoyable movie, and Eastwood does deliver a fine performance. -

Early American version of "blood splattered revenge" as a movie theme. Could possibly be shoehorned into the "Sphaghetti Trilogy".
-

An untypical Eastwood-western. Not the through and through quiet ice cool stranger who enters a godforsaken, wind-swept town. But don't get fooled..that doesn't mean that he's a wimp, or that the movie (that feels..shortened!) isn't tough and mean.
