Review of High Plains Drifter (1973) by Danny D — 18 Nov 2007
Many consider this to be eastwoods fourth film as the infamous "man with no name". this is the first film that he did with this sort of character that was not directed by sergio leone, and there are enough differences between the man with no name from leones trilogy and eastwoods character in this film to believe that the character is similar, but not the same.
eastwood directed this film, and in it a few of the "man with no name's" trademarks are missing and the explination for this character is probably ore supernatural. pay attention to the final 2 minutes of the film, and you will see that eastwood is actually probably playing a ghost in this film.
it was a decent film but there really was no character that you could root for. even as the hero, eastwood was more of an antihero with some terrible characterisitics, like a scene when he rapes a woman.
this was a decent flick and worth a watch, but doesnt stand up to the man with no name trilogy that it is often compared to.
