Clint Eastwood's second film as a director finds the celebrated action star returning to his familiar Old West stomping grounds and his internationally acclaimed role of "The Man With No Name." This time, The Stranger (Clint Eastwood) mysteriously appears out of the heat waves of the desert and rides into the lawless, sin-ridden town of Lago. After making a name for himself with a string of blazing gun battles, The Stranger is hired by the townspeople to provide protection from three ruthless gunmen just out of jail. The Stranger quickly proceeds to paint the entire town bright red, rename it "Hell," and supply divine retribution in the fiery, pulse-pounding climax of this acclaimed western shoot-em-up.

Clint Eastwood is a genius when it comes to timeless storytelling. To be able to put the mystery of sharp-eyed tall tale in a sinister frame of mind is very spooky. You want him to be evil, you want him to take revenge. A nightmare come true for all those plagued with evil for ignoring the damned. What is mezmerizing about the way Eastwood filmed this is you couldn't actually make out the distinction between the late Marshall and the stranger. What comes around goes around and the price that they all pay is just brillant. One of the best western movies ever made to date. With the HD. All the mystery is magnified and does the timeless flick justice.

if you like mindless violence without reason then this is the film for you

Brilliant film.
