THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES (1976) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Clint Eastwood

Written by - Philip Kaufman, Sonia Chernus (based on a novel by Forrest Carter)

Starring - Clint Eastwood

"One of Eastwood’s earlier films is also one of his best. A compelling western about a man joining a gang of confederate raiders to get revenge on the group of outlaws that killed his family, this is the tale of a man that want to live in peace but has no trust in the institutions to help him achieve piece of mind. Resembling a more pacifist version of a Leone thriller, this film also has surprisingly witty dialogue and a Clint Eastwood in top form behind and in front of the camera who shows great sensitivity to the subject and to a structure that was hardly ever rendered as human as it is in The Outlaw Josey Wales."
