Actually, I saw little new here. Eastwoodis all knowing and all powerful, almost like a Wizard of Oz in Western form. Can he never miss when he shoots? Is there a woman he doesn't get? The film opens with him dragging off and raping the first woman he meets who of course then melts in his arms and enjoys it. Don't even get me started on rape vs. consensual sex! Then he frightens and threatens every man in town, who of course are inferior numskulls compared to our "hero". I like some Westerns but not these kind of macho illusions.

Although I liked this film, I have too agree with @ClassicLady when the topic is women. The way they're portrayed in this film is very unrealistic, everytime there was a woman on a scene I couldn't stop shaking my head. Outside that, it's a very good film, creating quite the atmosfere until the climax which was pretty satisfaying. All in all, it's worth the watch.

Rape is apparently allowed if you are Clint Eastwood.
