Stunning flick, with Clint Eastwood in full on western mode.
This time he is a Gunslinger who wanders into a town called Lago, allegedly for a bath and a shot of whiskey. However, the locals seem nervous, and are clearly covering something up. They hire him to protect them from three fugitives who they fear are due to make an appearance, and he agrees, but only if they play by his rules.
The plots lacks some coherence, but frankly, with a Clint western this hardly matters.
The visuals are stunning - check the town painted red, and the sign changed from 'Lago' to simply read 'Hell' - and Clint is in mercurial form.
Simply put, they don't make them like this anymore.
