"When you hang a man, You better look at him!!!!!
Hang'em High is one of my favorite westerns. Clint Eastwood is awsome in the role of Jed Cooper, a cowboy who is mistaken for a rustler and gets hanged. After being rescued by a sherriff and given a job as a lawman, Cooper seeks revenge on the 9 men who hung him. Hang'em High is a good'ol western that's packed with great actors, like Alan Hale Jr. (Giligan's Island)...

A solid western, Clint's first after the Leone films
Hang 'em High is a good, entertaining western featuring a good performance by Clint and superior work by fine character actors in the supporting cast, including Pat Hingle. In this movie, Clint takes on once again the persona of an avenging angel, though this time he is on the side of the law (working for Hingle's hanging judge). There are shades of the upcoming Dirty...

Hung at high noon!, Jui 19 2004
Clint Eastwood's movie, Hang 'em High, is very interesting and dramatic. The plot of this movie was predictable but that is quiet alright. The producer and director probably wanted to convey some other message and hence a standard plot was chosen.Clint Eastwood is a rancher who is strung up at high noon by a bunch of thugs from a nearby town. They accuse him of murder and theft of cattle. Eastwood however does not die. A US Marshall recues him and brings him to the judge for trial. Judge aquitts Eastwood. It so happens that Eastwood was a ex-lawman and judge appoints him as a Marshall. Then begins the story of revenge and justice as Eastwood hunts down the vigilante mob that tried to hang him. There are many interesting questions raised in the movie. What is the relationship between Revenge and Justice? How should justice be dealt out? It is a thought-provoking movie although it has somewhat banal action scenes. Regardless, it's a movie worth your money.

Hang'em High is one of my favorite westerns. Clint Eastwood is awsome in the role of Jed Cooper, a cowboy who is mistaken for a rustler and gets hanged. After being rescued by a sherriff and given a job as a lawman, Cooper seeks revenge on the 9 men who hung him.
Hang'em High is a good'ol western that's packed with great actors, like Alan Hale Jr. (Giligan's Island) Ed Begley. L.Q. Jones, Dennis Hopper, and in a brief role as a preacher, James MacArthur(Hawaii Five-O), and Bob Steele, in the role as a prison inmate. If you like westerns with Clint Eastwood, give Hang'em High a try.

Strong Eastwood Follow-up To the Spaghetti Western Trilogy, Fév 24 2004
I watched this one after seeing the classic spaghetti Eastwood films a few weeks back(A Fistfull Of Dollars,For A Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad And The Ugly). Well it didnt dissapoint. Eastwood plays Jed Cooper, a former lawman who becomes a cattle rancher only to be mistaken for a cattle thief and hung by 9 vigilante goons. I dont want to ruin it for you but he basically agrees to become a Federal Marshall and proceeds in administering Justice his way. He clashes with the Territorial judge(played by Pat Hingle) who is his supervisor and their conflict on how justice is administered is the main focal point of the film. A truly classic Eastwood western. My only complaint was the poor clean-up of picture quality in certain scenes. Other than that extremely watchable.

Boring and predictable. A let-down after the trilogy and the High Plains Drifter.

Eastwood, home on the American range, Déc 3 2003
After earning major stardom with Sergio Leone's spaghetti western trilogy, Clint Eastwood turned down both Leone's "Once Upon a Time in the West" and Carl Foreman's "MacKenna's Gold" to star in and co-produce this tightly scripted, well-acted western directed by "Gunsmoke" veteran Ted Post. It proved a good choice. If not a masterpiece on the order of Leone's film, or a star studded spectacular like Foreman's offering, "Hang 'Em High" was something the other two were not: a hit. It's also intelligent and makes some interesting if subtle comments on the meaning of justice. The clean-shaven Eastwood is fine as Jed Cooper, a former marshal who once more wears a badge to hunt down the men who hanged him as an alleged cattle thief, but Pat Hingle as a hanging judge who is even more vengeance minded than Eastwood offers the standout performance. Bruce Dern, Bob Steele, Ben Johnson, Joe Sirola, Dennis Hopper, and Alan Hale, Jr. (yes, the Skipper from "Gilligan's Island") are among the notable character actors who appear throughout, and Dominic Frontiere's music score, including the title theme that would go on to be a hit for Booker T and the MGs, is excellent.

A solid western, Clint's first after the Leone films, Sep 30 2003
Hang 'em High is a good, entertaining western featuring a good performance by Clint and superior work by fine character actors in the supporting cast, including Pat Hingle. In this movie, Clint takes on once again the persona of an avenging angel, though this time he is on the side of the law (working for Hingle's hanging judge). There are shades of the upcoming Dirty Harry Callahan in this character when, after completing his mission and taking vengeance on the men who erroneously near-lynched him, Clint quits the employ of hanging judge Hingle as he cannot stand the hypocrisy of the judge's legalized killing.A very nifty tale of morality and vengeance that presages the great themes of director Eastwood's career.

Clint Eastwood's first American Western., Mars 4 2003
Jed Cooper (played by Eastwood) is hung and left for dead by a mob. But he lives and, after being made a Deputy Marshal, goes out to hunt them down, all nine. But Judge Fenton (Pat Hingle) wants the Oklahoma territory to become a State of Law and Order. Will Jed do things the legal way or his way? Or will he give it all up and start a new life with the pretty widow, played by Inger Stevens (hubba-hubba) who is also looking for her own revenge.
I also liked the redhead. You'll know her when you see her.

Hanging as Metaphor, Janv. 19 2003
Clint Eastwood had just completed perhaps the most successful trifecta in Hollywood western history with his "Man with No Name" trilogy. Those three films were marked by a melding of unforgettable Ennio Morricone music with the grubbiness that seemed to afflict the entire cast. This Eastwood was laconic and possessed of a dry sense of humor. In HANG 'EM HIGH, Eastwood is a preppier, more law abiding loner who has the great bad fortune to purchase rustled cattle from their abductors, and is promptly lynched by a gang of vigilantes who mean well, but in whose disregard for the niceities of law, the focus of the film is squarely placed. The west of this movie, unlike the west of his 'No Name' trilogy, may, in the words of Pat Hingle, the 'hanging judge' be so big that it dwarfs five states put together, yet that does not mean that it is bereft of any law and order. Eastwood, as Jed Cooper, survives the lynching, only to be offered a marshal's badge to bring to justice his lynchers. At the moment that Cooper puts on that badge, director Ted Post indicates that HANG 'EM HIGH is a morality movie disguised as a revenge oater. No one understands this better than Pat Hingle, as the hanging judge, who every day has to balance the expediency involved in hanging condemned criminals with the sobering thought that in his court he is 'the law, all the law.' Unlike Cooper, who has him to answer to, the judge has only his conscience. Because Eastwood presents himself as a transition figure between the ponchoed Man with no Name that he just was and the brute law and order icon that he would shortly morph into as Dirty Harry, he does not dominate each scene. Nor is there a dramatic vacuum when he blends into the background. Into his place swarms a host of a very capable supporting cast. Inger Stevens is particularly appealing as a troubled woman who has survived the physical trauma of rape only to find the emotional aftereffects as far more lingering. For those students of film who are acquainted with the details of Miss Stevens' troubled life that began in depression and ended in real-life suicide, her performance as the tormented victim takes on the hopeless overtones of art imitating life. Her ability to slowly blossom under the healing hand of Cooper is touching. Bruce Dern reprises a role that he has done countless times as both a big and small screen crazy. Dern is the leader of a gang composed of a pair of impressionably young brothers who, under other circumstances, might have turned out as decent citizens. In fact, the primary irony of HANG 'EM HIGH is that with the exception of Dern, who brags that he is 'truly as guilty as sin,' every other character is either good or a flawed version of good. Even Cooper's lynchers thought they were doing society a favor by skipping the cost of a trial. What emerges is a cinematic metaphor that clearly shows what happens even to good people who seek to do society a favor by circumventing the very rights of those charged with truly heinous crimes. The inner debate that Marshal Jed Cooper had to wage during his pursuit of the men who lynched him is shared by an audience who slowly comes to realize that the hanging judge, in all his exhortations about the necessary triumph of written law over vigilante order, was right all along.
