High Plains Drifter
In an exciting story about a stranger in the mining town of Lago. That city where the inhabitants live under a dark mystery. After a short while, there was an exchange of fire which would make town protectors tenants dead. In light of that disaster, the town's leaders are asking for the strangeness of staying and protecting them from three outlaws who will soon be released from prison. The three try to return to Lago to wreak havoc and take care of some illegal acts that seem to be the most corrupt and unjust.

Mysterious, sporadically comical, and classically Eastwood, High Plains Drifter is a wholly satisfying revenge saga that's askew enough to surprise as it exercises known elements.

As a director, Eastwood is not as good as he seems to think he is. As an actor, he is probably better than he allows himself to be.

One of the best Westerns of the 1970s.

This was supposed to be Eastwood's fond adieu to the worlds of Sergio Leone and Don Siegel; and indeed he cuts the operatic excess of the former with the punchy economy of the latter.

Whatever the reasoning, it is a gripping work, harsh and ahead of its time.

Eastwood holds fast to the rebel spirit of the spaghetti Westerns and revisionist "New Hollywood" Westerns of the previous decade, but packages it in a film that's slicker and more mainstream-friendly.

Eastwood registers strongly as actor and director of this revenge Western (yet another critique of High Noon), with a style that's influenced by his mentors, the economic efficiency of Don Siegel with touches of Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Westerns

Part ghost story, part revenge Western, more than a little silly, and often quite entertaining in a way that may make you wonder if you have lost your good sense.

Clint Eastwood is the ultimate thinking man's cinematic killing machine.

Clint Eastwood's first Western as director is rather fascinating due to its quasi-supernatural component.

Eastwood's second directorial effort is mechanically stylish.
