I've just seen this film on TV, never heard of it before, but watched it through because of 2 pleasant surprises. One, a "blink & you'll miss him" appearance by a very young Clint Eastwood in one of the early scenes. He's one of the characters that annoys the Sheriff by commenting on it a being a "big day", i.e. Sam Hall's due to hang.
Also, Johnny Cash covered the song that runs throughout the movie on one of his last albums, American IV: The Man Comes Around. Its well worth a listen as its a much more raucous rendition than the one in the film & Johnny seems to take great pleasure in recounting Sam's evil deeds.
As to the movie, good, old fashioned B-movie & a pleasant way to pass a Saturday afternoon.
