High Plains Drifter

 From the "There are no good guys" school of film, a shoot-y, rape-y tale of (angelic? demonic?) revenge. 4 stars.

Follow-up - When I say shoot-y & rape-y, I mean the Stranger rides into town, finds a bar and buys a beer. Less than three minutes later he shoots three men, grabs a woman, drags her into a barn and rapes her to teach her some manners. And hes the hero. Jesus allegorical Christ this movie ain't easy to like. But that's not the point, liking it or liking the Stranger. The point is don't let corruption and greed lead you to sell your soul, or someday someone might use that very thing to destroy you and everyone with whom you collude.
