Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: During the Civil War, Union "Redlegs" attack Southerner Josey Wales's dirt farm and wipe out his family. Seeking vengeance, Wales throws in with a company of Reb guerrillas. Tagged as a renegade after the surrender, he flees west into the vastness of the Indian Territories, where, quite unintentionally, he finds himself cast as the straight-shooting paterfamilias of an ever-growing, spectacularly motley community of misfits and castaways. Which is to say, Josey's personal quest for survival and something like peace of mind evolves into a funky, multicultural allegory of the healing of America. The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976), Clint Eastwood's 31st film as an actor, 20th as international star and 5th as director, was the first to win him widespread respect. Critics had grumbled when the producer-star replaced Philip Kaufman (The Right Stuff) in the director's chair a week into shooting. They ended up cheering when Eastwood delivered both his most sympathetic performance to date and--with the heroic collaboration of cinematographer Bruce Surtees--an impressive Panavision epic that stresses the scruffiness, rather than the scenic splendors, of frontier life. Though it's been honoured with a place in the National Film Registry, Josey Wales is good, not great, Eastwood. The big-gun fetishism can get tiresome, and too many characters exist only to serve as six-gun (and at one point Gatling gun) fodder. But mostly the film is agreeably eccentric, and almost furtively sweet in spirit--a key transitional title in the Eastwood filmography, and one of his most entertaining. --Richard T.

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Masterpiece.This is an outstanding movie and one of the best westerns you'll ever see. The performances are inspirational, this band of players spark off eachother brilliantly -the likes of which we witness rarely but when we do the images and lines live forever. It cemented Clint Eastwood as an honest to goodness director and it is quite rightly regarded as one of the greatest westerns ever made. I have to watch this film at least once a year -it has everything for me. Jerry Fielding's score is superbly atmospheric and fitting. There are great characters -William O'Connell's singin' ferryman, Woodrow Parfrey's carpetbagger & the wonderful Chief Dan George to name but a few, and set pieces here that carve out a place in memory -'the Missoura ... Read More: Rating: - Clint's Western MasterpieceSeldom does a definitive example of a genre come along, but this is it. Together with Costner's "Dances With Wolves" this film has to be the Western Genre's moment of triumph, certainly from outside the genre's golden age in the 1950s. Yet it was for Unforgiven that Eastwood won his Best Director's Oscar. I'm not saying he shouldn't have won for that, he just should have won for this too. It is a film with manages to merge triumphalsim with en edgy darkness, at times it's uplifting and humbling, it is superbly acted with some magnificent characters and performances from lead and support actors alike. The film challenges many pre-conceptions we might have about this period in American History as the white man's enemy is himself whilst ... Read More: Rating: - Big Clint at his bestThis film is highly regarded among Clint Eastwood fans and fans of the Western genre in general. Clint is a tobacco chewing bitter warrior here. He can't fit back into society in the post-Civil War era and instead goes on a rampage of killing (on many occasions the trouble actually comes to him without looking for it). A number of gritty Western cliches are featured here but are done rather stylishly - such as honour, treachery, saving the damsels in distress from the clutches of evil wandering thugs, standing tall when faced with peril and not backing down, posing with corpses for the primitive cameras, salesmen trying to sell potions, meeting Indians in dangerous circumstances and eventually teaming up with them, a 'gold' ruse to lead ... Read More: Rating:  - "Are ya just gonna stand there, or whistle Dixie!"Some of the best ever one liners are scripted in this epic, and even the ferryman gets in on the act!! Wales' pursuers were hot on his heels but "The Missoura boat ride" came to his aid!!! Fantastic film which you watch time and time again to take in all it has to offer!!! An absolute CLASSIC!!!!!! Rating: - One of the greatest movies of all timeI remember first seeing this movie at the drive-in back when it came out and it remains one of my favorites. In fact it was the first movie that I bought on VHS when I got a VCR and was the second (maybe third) movie that I bought on DVD. Always a big fan of westerns I class this one as way better than 90% of the genre and cereberal in nature. While there are some small problems with weapons that are out of time this is something that will only irk those who are very knowledgeable concerning post-war weapons. This is one movie that should be on everyones short list of must have movies. |
