Along with Altman's McCabe and Mrs. Miller, as authentic a depiction of a Wild West town as you are likely to find.

Consensus: As both director and star, Clint Eastwood strips away decades of Hollywood varnish applied to the Wild West, and emerges with a series of harshly eloquent statements about the nature of violence.
Synopsis: In Clint Eastwood's acclaimed Western, Little Bill Daggett (Gene Hackman), a sadistic, dictatorial sheriff, enforces gun control on a tiny frontier town, doling out his own brand of due process as... [More]

A near-great Western, weakened only by overt revisionism.

Aside from being one of the highlights of Eastwood's long career, this film unquestionably offers one of his top directing efforts.

Dark and somber in thematics and visuals, this Western is a personal work for Eastwood, in which he desconstructs his own mythic violent image, one that made him a star in the 1960s; it's well-acted by Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, and Richard Harris.
