Harry S Mar 6, 2019 This movie is pretty good, its a faster paced movie but its mostly action and a bit of drama. There is a few questionable scenes but its still good. See more

Theodore R Dec 27, 2018 Good movie. Worth the watch.

George G Dec 14, 2018 Hang em High is a strange blend of excellence and mediocrity. Director Ted Post was clearly out of his league, saddled with both an actor and a script he couldn't handle. Eastwood is great, and the script had the potential to diagram a great film. Unfortunately, Post was out of his depth. Despite great performances from both Eastwood and Bruce Dern as a delightfully slimey desperado, the film wobbles at times. The script contains an astonishing array of characters: the hangin judge, as a slightly out-of-control sovereign for the lawless Oklahoma Territory; Clint as the warrior; nine vigilantes who mistakenly lynch Eastwood; and two ladies representing the productive estate: the respectful prostitute, Arlene Golonka, and Inger Stevens playing the raped fertility goddess. Perhaps most unusual of all are a Dioskouric pair who must be sacrificed in the name of justice - great stuff. There are moments of magic, but also times when the movie loses its bearings. Well worth watching, despite the flaws. See more

Han S Aug 24, 2018 hangs stuff higher.. Hang 'Em High Hang 'Em High is a character driven action thriller about a man fueled with vengeance that latter gets seduced by the justice side of the coin. The premise has enough potential to bedazzle the audience which it delivers unflinchingly in here and addition to that its gripping screenplay that enfolds and ensues more fragile and layered concept that just mere fist fighting. The action sequences are well choreographed and easily draws the attention from the viewers especially the way it glorifies and savours each and every moment. It consists few nail-biting political debate and also raises the question of the transaction of the system of law from the western world's perspective. The star cast doesn't snatch away the actual crisp or essence from someone else's track and offers them enough room and range to factor in effectively in the bigger picture. The script is mature than one would expect especially its last act that is surprisingly softer and sensible that one usually doesn't get in such action features. It is rich on technical aspects like cinematography, camera work and editing that helps chew the characters' perspective in, appropriately which are aptly cooked and three dimensional. There are few pathos track in here but it is what helps keep the feature grounded and viewers rooting for the character. If Eastwood is ferocious and has finesse, Hingle is equally powerful and challenging for him with Stevens supporting her decently especially in its last act. The director Post may not have Leone's precision but has patience and awareness of its characters strength which he uses it wisely. Whistle blowing dialogues, sharp sound effects and mature take on the genre are the high points of the feature. Hang 'Em High hangs stuff higher than genre calls for or one would expect, it's refreshingly good. See more
