I had low expectations coming into my viewing of The Hangman and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It's unique for a western in that it doesn't have a lot of 'action': shootouts, lynchings, etc. or even a clearly identified villain that the audience can root against. Just because it doesn't have those usual tropes commonly used in the genre doesn't devalue the results. The story contained is solid, the performances are uniformly good, and the regular injections of humor are fun and welcomed. Overall, The Hangman is worth checking out.
