Comments

• After many roles of hero, Clint Eastwood is endangered by playing an antipathetic character who knows a fine tragedy.
• the historical decoration (American Civil War) is not that a basic screen with a door - psychological field with well carried out suspense, playing on sexual and racial elements relatively dared (relation with minor, inceste between the director and its brother, rape of the black maidservant by this same brother).
