| Urban CinefileAndrew L. UrbanThis is the film that brought Clint Eastwood (and his reefer smoking habit) back from Sergio Leoneland to Hollywood |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertBegley and Stevens add tone to the cast, and Hingle comes over like an especially earnest Karl Malden. The moral of the story is vaguely against capital punishment, and there's a lot of that thin, windblown guitar twanging for you thin, wind-blown guitar twanging fans. |
| Juicy CerebellumAlex SandellNot one of Eastwood's best, but still a good film. |
| CinePassionFernando F. CroceTed Post's direction is especially adroit at keeping the baroque flurries bubbling under the deceptive surface of old-pro craftsmanship |
| User ReviewShaggy SAnd This One. I LOVE HIS SPEGETTI WESTERNS HE IS THE HOTTEST. |
| User ReviewMadison SThis wasn't quite what I expected from a Clint Eastwood movie. This really had a more meaningful story than most westerns do. The performances were great from everybody, especially Clint who is a western god. And who better to go on a revenge mission than him. There isn't many things that I would change about this movie. Hang 'Em High is fun to watch and I would highly recommend it. |
