Eastwood plays a drifter who can kick a lot of ass. Big shock. This character has been played and perfect by Eastwood to the point that you cant even name anyone else who compares (maybe Snake Plissken – but that’s it).In this one, Josey Wales (Clint) is a regular old fellow, until his wife and son are murdered by Red Legs – pro-union guys during the civil war. Josey wants revenge and picks up a pistol and teaches himself to shoot! Which is wicked!!! So then he joins up with Fletcher and his gang of renegades and they go around doing…well renegade stuff, until Fletcher decides he’s had enough of war and joins the union chaps (they paid him off too) and when Fletchers gang comes in, the union guys kill them! Josey takes revenge and kills most of them, but the one Red-Legger (who has now joined the union) and Fletcher.
So Red Legs and Fletcher team up to kill Josey.
That is just the beginning of this epic movie. Josey meets other loners on his path and they team up with him too. One guy is an old Indian who can no longer sneak up on people, an Indian trait that he has lost due to being civilized.
They meet up with a bunch of goody-two shoes from Kansas, who find out the hard way that the frontier life aint too happy.
And so on.
The cool thing about the movie is that each scene plays out in a way that you cant really predict what will happen.
Josey meets up with some renegade Indians that wanna scalp the Kansas people and how Josey fights them off is wicked!!!!!
All the characters are awesome and a lot of neat things happen…bounty hunters etc. It all plays out a bit slow, but not as slow as Good, Bad, and Ugly. Compared to that, this movie is Run Lola Run.
4.5/5
