High Plains Drifter (1973)

This is more like the western I expected. A film I'm sure I have seen parts of on television before. Clint Eastwood stars in a film about a man with no name that rides into a town and brings along some western justice.

Eastwood's unnamed character strolls into town, goes to the barber shop and kills three men before getting a shave. Then he rapes a girl, get a drink at the saloon, and before the town's sheriff. Hired to protect the town from men the town wrongfully condemned but are not set to get out of prison and return to the town.

Midgets, shootouts, whippings, showdowns... this film is all the typical western themes thrown into one... and a midget! Don't expect a lot out of this one, but nevertheless it did have some good action.

Vote: 7/10
