Product Description:
A farmer becomes a one-man army to avenge his familys slaughter by civil war renegades. Four bonuses: new documentary utilizing never-before-seen footage shot behind the scenes the original theatrical trailer limited edition mini-lobby card and an all-new introduction by eastwood.Studio: Warner Home VideoRelease Date: 09/27/2005Starring: Clint Eastwood Sondra LockeRun time: 135 minutesRating: PgDirector: Clint Eastwood
Amazon.com essential video:
Clint Eastwood fired the original director, Philip Kaufman (The Right Stuff), and took over the reins of this project himself. He may have had a point: this brutal, thoughtful western, a near-tragedy about a Civil War veteran whose past comes looking for him, is probably Eastwood's most mature frontier drama prior to the Oscar winning Unforgiven. Hoping to build a quiet life in a cooperative community of settlers, Eastwood's Wales blames himself when his enemies attack the homestead, and he has to revert to his warrior instincts to help fend off the threat. The jittery intensity of Sondra Locke (who would be Mrs. Eastwood, at least for a while), and the screen-filling charisma of the late Chief Dan George harmonize beautifully with Eastwood, who had finally figured out how to add depth and texture to his stock-in-trade Man of Steel persona. This one may be too short on action to satisfy fans of Eastwood's Dirty Harry films, or of the Italian westerns he made with Sergio Leone, but it's an honorable effort.--David Chute

This is my favorite film of alltime, excluding religous films. I love the part played by Chief Dan George, Lone Watie. Josie finally gets his man in the end. This film is awesome. You won't regret buying this one.
Rating: - Tip Top Western/Civil War entertainment movie
This is Clint Eastwood fodder for the fans who love his work. It's very well done in the Eastwood style of Dirty Harry Grit. I watch this movie about once a year and still enjoy it every time.
Rating: - Spittin' On The Dog!
This is simply an extremely entertaining story with two lead characters - played by Eastwood and Chief Dan George - who were fascinating to watch. Also, as in most westerns,the photography is good - and will look better once a good Blu-Ray release of this comes out.
