With High Plains Drifter, Clint Eastwood created arguably the most debatable and ambiguous film of his entire career - both as an actor and as a director. There is so much about this eerie western that doesn't get answered. So many details missing. So many presumptions to…
🇵🇱 Steve G 🐝May 13, 2020Eastwood channels two of his biggest collaborators (Leone and Siegel) into one of the grimmest westerns I've seen, that plays sorta like if the wandering Ronin in a Kurosawa movie was actually a rapist monster as well as a brutal killer and the local pacifist townspeople…
Josh LewisAug 15, 2015This might be the cruellest and most hellish Western. The protagonist is literally and figuratively inhuman: a rapist, a harbinger of death, an emblem of vicious retribution. There's moral severity here, not only in thematic terms, but in imagistic ones too: a town painted…

The Stranger: All these people, are they your sisters and brothers? Preacher: They most certainly are. The Stranger: ...Then you won't mind if they come over and stay at your place, will ya? And when the preacher's stunned, passive look further betrays his…
Adam KempenaarJul 31, 2019Amoral ghost story revenge that feels like a grim pulp western paperback from HELL. Perhaps the cruelest American Western of that time period? Perhaps. Eastwood utilizes knowledge acquired from Siegel and Leone and conjures up a raw, sardonic, and mean little horror…

putting your life in the hands of a demon; a terrifying depiction of america's willingness to submit to an authority which they know will destroy them, the catharsis of being consumed by the sins of the past rather than living among the compromised civilization you've…
comrade_yuiMar 18, 2022- what about after we do it? what do we do then? - you live with it some of the most evil vibes ever in this one, welcome to hell
eddieNov 22, 2020Most of Eastwood's early American westerns were deliberate in their references to Italian films, so it made sense his first self-directed one would do the same, but while Post or Sturges would acknowledge his Leone roots better to incorporate the Man with No Name in a more…

It makes kind of sense Clint Eastwoods next film as a director is a western and it feels like a sequel from the man with no name trilogy. But this is a action packed film that is so breath-taking and just keeps you hooked.
ok so, that’s a hero???? I would only remark the set and all the shots in the film… But all the rest of the story was just, stressing

Clint Eastwood definitely has better movies than this one, Unforgiven is my favorite western of all time, but I didn’t really enjoy this one, maybe I need to watch it again…
When you think you’re watching a western movie but it’s actually a horror movie about revenge & the bystander effect instead. Unsettling but very well done.
