High Plains Drifter apart from being one of the most best western films I have seen it is one of the best films I have ever seen. Its a wonderful blend of supernatural horror and revisionist western that never fails to make my hair stand up on end.

What a classic, clint eastwood is on top form in this clensing of the wicked western. brilliant bargain for any western fan

Eastwood made three boring westerns during his career, in my opinion. High plains drifter, beguiled and pale rider. They were not up to his previous excellent movies like the 'dollar' films and the dirty Harry movies. They were exciting titles but lacked the storylines, and seemed to be a bit silly and unbelievable. I still think he was great in that unbeatable old tv series Rawhide.

This is a genuine attempt at combining two genres - Western and Revenge. The result is superb.

Eastwood again assumes the persona from the 'Dollars Trilogy', the man with no name not looking for trouble but never avoiding it. He appears like a tough anti-hero - doing wrong to "bad" people. Through each 'wrongdoing' we learn a bit more about the motivation for the main characters and in particular Eastwood's wanton malice. When he is in total control he paints the town red, literally, and then lets 'em have it.

A simple look at life into the Western days with Eastwood playing the role of the lone rider who seeks no trouble just a shave and hot bath, however when he kills 3 men in the blink of an eye the town then turn to him for protection due to his gunslinging skills. A great film and another great Western from Eastwood.

Whats to say about Clints films? How about great?!! Havnt watched this for years and enjoyed every minute.

any film that has clint eastwood in a western is she brillance,this is no exception.realistic,brutal just a show of what the west was like. not a gloryfied john wayne movie! this punches hard at westerns of old.
