Hang 'Em High


This movie kind of sucks. Here is my brief review. 

Pros: Clint looks awesome, really good acting, cool title, great scenery, cinematography is nice, and Clint looks awesome. 

Cons: Bad directing, bad script, bad editing, too many plot loopholes, and a lame female sub-plot. 

Conclusion: This sucker has plot holes and inconsistencies big enough to drive a truck through. I won't detail them here, but suffice it to say, by the time you see our hero skipping out on the 6 man hanging to bang a prostitute, and then later being riddled by bullets without being killed, you'll start smelling the stink too. And i haven't even mentioned the snore-fest pic-nic scene. Where's Tuco when you need him?

The most exciting scene in the whole film is a half-baked fight between Eastwood and a very young and spry Bruce Dern. Anyway, skip this yawn-inducing western.

Okay. I'll take your word for it. I say it several years back, but can't remember it too well. See, have a case of "sometimers" isn't all that bad.
