Hang 'Em High (1968)

Director: Ted Post
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Inger Stevens, Pat Hingle

Synopsis:
A former lawman who survives a lynching becomes a marshal to hunt down the men responsible.

Impressions:
If you like Clint Eastwood Westerns, you'll like this, plain and simple. It's interesting seeing the conflict of balancing the law and revenge, and the bleak picture of frontier justice. Looking back at it, the movie feels a bit understated, but perhaps that isn't a bad thing. There are some shootouts and brawls, but nothing that feels really big. If something a little more grounded that the big spaghetti Westerns is what you're looking for, this one's for you. Give it a watch.
