This is a decent Western, definitely not in the elite tier, but respectable. I was surprised that it plays out more like an Eastwood classic than the concept album it is named after. The events of the album are a little understated here, we get a visual representation of some of the lyrics with the actual songs overlaid as if narrating the scenes, but not much more development. In fact I would say that is the pain point of the film; character development. We never really learn much about Julian, "the stranger", and the film never really substantiates the relationship with his wife or the man she runs off with. Otherwise, a passable piece of entertainment.
