Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
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.

fresh:
Eastwood's second directorial effort is mechanically stylish.

fresh:
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.

fresh:
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.
