11 out of 17 people found the following review useful.
Seeking Vengeance by the law, 4 December 2000
Author: Antonio (noodles-13) from Italy

A rather unusual western movie for its period, with interesting ideas on the practice of justice and death punishment, not consistent with the myth of the frontier as always portraited in such kind of cinema. Even though Eastwood only appears as an actor, a good preview of what was about to happen in his career as a director, with The outlaw Josey Wales and, above all, The unforgiven. Rated 7.
