This is another film from the 1000 films to see before you shuffle off this mortal coil list .... and I'm not really very sure why.
It's a good story .... with a few eye-rolling moments - like when our hero is found in the barn holding not one but TWO guns and no-one left alive to say what happened. How inconvenient.
The - as far as I can tell - utterly unknown cast do a good job. It's quite fascinating how the town is 100% in support of our hero at the start of the film and then how quickly they turn against him.
It's a short movie and the ending is quite abrupt. We don't get to see what our hero does after he is reprieved and the town say "sorry".
So a good movie ... but really one of the top 1000 ever?
73/100.
