the review be deserve possibly the best western i have ever see certainly one of the best movie ever for me while the closure in the final second be an act of creative courage that should shine on the director head for ever i walk out with my girlfriend of the time ( no artistic slouch herself ) shake head and mutter they can not really finish it like that and can they . i know then that i would seldom see such a bold stroke while lancaster show what he be really make of when the glossy facade be drop . just be tv screen and i be blow away once more 35 year later . the sheer moral vacuum of tanner be a depiction of the bad that can happen when location and money allow someone to construct a reliaty found on self image kill a man so that no one will have cause to wonder if i kill my lover husband to grab her i do not need to kill someone to take his woman and a life be a small price to pay to make that clear . the distancing of his henchman be so vividly and quietly a thing of manhood measure in spanish term that it quiver in the air on the the mesa above the plain and the leaching of colour be a pure masterpiece of mood that take some second to notice happen .
