Year:1986
Country of origin:USA
Director:Ted Post
Genre:Western
Starring:Clint Eastwood, Inger Stevens, Ed Begley
Rating:4/5
IMDB link:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061747/
Tagline:The hanging was the best show in town. But they made two mistakes. They hung the wrong man and they didn't finish the job.
Favourite line:"When you hang a man, you better look at him."

Clint is in fine form here, as ever in the genre that made his name.
This time around, he does actually have a name - Jed Cooper - a man who survived a hanging, and is out for vengeance.
Truthfully, if you are going to hang Clint, you'd better make sure you finish the job.... Well shot, and more thoughtful than many Westerns, with Eastwoods' character genuinely evolving as the movie progresses.
This is a fine Western.
