pretty good, aside from a couple of antiquated moments
Despite not being a huge enjoyer of 70’s movies and westerns, this movie was surprisingly good. Not the best, but rather enjoyable.
Good old spaghetti western. This is where Eastwood made his name. Beats today's westerns hands down, and it's 51 years old.
Such a great movie, Eastwood is perfect in the lead role. Top 10 Western movie
Eastwood at his most inscrutable in a film with supernatural undertones. I must say, Eastwood rapes a woman here & the film doesn’t judge.
Classic Eastwood. Definitely in my top 3 favorite movies of his.
My favorite Eastwood western. A badass anti-hero, surreal flashback sequences, and a compelling vengeance story.
Another great Clint Eastwood western, good watch
Pretty outdated in terms of morals but a classic Eastwood western.
A hauntingly dark and mysterious film that is refreshingly different from others in the western genre.
