Amazon.com essential video 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 honored 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. Jameson
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

a clint classic February 2, 2010 Schermerberger (Metro Detroit, MI) The outlaw Joesey Wales is exactly what you want in a western. It also depicts what can happen to a man in the context of war.
"Now spit." January 27, 2010 Terry Royse (Mt. Sterling, Ky. USA) Great rambling tale of vengeance and retribution and also of friendship and peace. One of Clint Eastwoods best.
Great Eastwood Movie, One of his Best December 16, 2009 Gerry W. Mosby (Henderson, NV) I think this is one of his best westerns. The cast in this movie is one of the best he has ever had. Its a classic and i would recommend it to anyone who likes Eastwood and a good western.
My favorite movie December 15, 2009 David A. Barker (Florida) I'll be beyond thrilled when this one comes out in Blu-ray. It's my all time favorite movie. Every line of dialogue is classic. For you Animal House fans...the actor, John Vernon, that plays "Fletcher" in this movie is the same guy that played "Dean Wormer" in Animal House. This movie is beyond good. It's just wonderful. All the actors are excellent. The action is tremendous. The story is wonderful, and Clint is in his prime. I dare you not to enjoy this movie!
How Can You Not Love This Movie? December 14, 2009 Joanna (Same Place) One of my favorites I can watch over & over again. The only reason I give it 4 stars is bcs of the chick.
Honestly, I really don't know what CLint ever saw in that woman, at least as an actress. She's always been terrible.
I love the old indian-everything he says cracks me up.
Especially the part about his mule surrenduring.
Too funny!
