'Hang 'em High' - Movie Review

















Hang 'em High (3 out of 5 stars)

Made after the Sergio Leone spaghetti western trilogy, this is a very solid western, although in my opinion not in the same league as the Leone made masterpieces.
Nonetheless, this is very gritty stuff, as Eastwood takes the job of a Marshall in order to exact his revenge on a mob who attempted to lynch him. There's also plenty here that parents should be wary about letting their kids watch, much more adult themes (2 teenagers being hung for helping some cattle rustlers).
All in all a very solid western though.
