One of Clint Eastwood’s best and darkest movies. What I love about this movie is that he effectively kills off the Man With No Name character that made him famous in his early film career. It seems to be his way of saying, “I won’t be doing characters like that anymore.†It’s also a meditation of the cyclical trap of violence – violence only leading to more violence. Great film! |
