High Plains Drifter
The inhabitants of the city, called the Lago mining city, live under a dark and dangerous mystery. That city always enters under an exchange of fire which will make the city protectors tenants dead. There is a strange traveler in the city, where the town leaders ask him to stay with them and protect them from three outlaws who will soon be released from prison. The three criminals may return to Lago again to provoke chaos and murder in addition to illegal acts. Perhaps they are a series of conflicts in the city of Lago.

Eastwood holds fast to the rebel spirit of the spaghetti Westerns and revisionist "New Hollywood" Westerns of the previous decade, but packages it in a film that's slicker and more mainstream-friendly.

Part ghost story, part revenge Western, more than a little silly, and often quite entertaining in a way that may make you wonder if you have lost your good sense.

Clint Eastwood is the ultimate thinking man's cinematic killing machine.
October 26, 2008
Whatever the reasoning, it is a gripping work, harsh and ahead of its time.
October 26, 2008
One of the best Westerns of the 1970s.

Eastwood's second directorial effort is mechanically stylish.

Eastwood registers strongly as actor and director of this revenge Western (yet another critique of High Noon), with a style that's influenced by his mentors, the economic efficiency of Don Siegel with touches of Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Westerns
February 09, 2006
This was supposed to be Eastwood's fond adieu to the worlds of Sergio Leone and Don Siegel; and indeed he cuts the operatic excess of the former with the punchy economy of the latter.

Mysterious, sporadically comical, and classically Eastwood, High Plains Drifter is a wholly satisfying revenge saga that's askew enough to surprise as it exercises known elements.

As a director, Eastwood is not as good as he seems to think he is. As an actor, he is probably better than he allows himself to be.

Clint Eastwood's first Western as director is rather fascinating due to its quasi-supernatural component.
