This movie is very different from the tough, men of men, action-packed movies Eastwood usually makes. It is outlandish at times and even disturbing and perverse, but you have to remind yourself it was a very different time, not that it justifies it, but unfortunately some things were just socially accepted and the norm in that time. The film overall develops well, it's never too slow, has a few twists and moments of suspense and the acting is great! The various range of characters and the flashbacks of their stories are very intriguing. The whole cast puts in a stellar performance and I was engaged throughout. I highly recommend you see this film, but just don't expect an action-packed film full of thrills.
