Red Sun turns out to be surprisingly entertaining for an obscure early 70s western. It doesn’t seem pokey by modern standards, like many movies of its era, the violence has a suitably nasty edge, and the relationship between the two main […]

Lawman starts out with a archetypal setup.
In a drunken revelry, a bunch of men shoot up a town called Bannock. An old man winds up dead from a stray bullet.
It turns out that the men were employees of Vincent Bronson (Lee J. Cobb), […]

WORTH A LOOK
One of the problems with watching almost any American movie after a Zatoichi flick is that they seem awfully shallow. For example, the campy theme song of A Man Called Sledge, which is used three times during the film, drones on and on about how […]

Considering that it’s a western, Two Mules For Sister Sara doesn’t have a whole lot of action. There’s a short shootout, an explosion, someone gets shot with an arrow, and someone else faces a firing squad. That’s about it, not counting the storming of a […]

The Outlaw Josey Wales is a very good western, and no wonder: it was written by Phil Kaufman from a novel by Forrest Carter, lensed by Bruce Surtees, composed by Jerry Fielding, and features a who’s who of wonderful character actors from the […]

I suppose The Shootist is a Western, but it’s really about two things: the corrosive nature of fame and facing death with dignity.
John Bernard Books (John Wayne), famous for having killed over 30 men with his pistols, has just received a death sentence of his […]

Hmmm. Charles Bronson, the star of Death Wish, The Stone Killer, Breakout, Mr. Majestyk, The Evil That Men Do, Hard Times, etc. Michael Winner, director of Death Wish, The Stone Killer, and The Mechanic, all of which starred Bronson. If I were a betting man, […]

One of the key films of the 1960s, The Wild Bunch has also been hugely influential for action movie directors ever since.
The story is fairly simple. In the waning days of the Wild West (the story takes place in 1913), a […]

If you don’t mind a certain lack of originality and surprises, Pale Rider provides a solid two hours of entertainment.
Really, Pale Rider is a hybrid of Shane and Eastwood’s own High Plains Drifter, gussied up with a sharp script by Michael Butler and Dennis Shryack, […]

If you’ve seen Clint Eastwood’s two 70s masterpieces, Dirty Harry and High Plains Drifter, it kind of makes you want to check out his other work from the era, and surprisingly, very little of it is weak. Of course, not all of it can properly […]
