Description of The Outlaw Josey Wales:
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
The Outlaw Josey Wales Reviews:
Great Eastwood Movie, One of his Best 
2009-12-16 - 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
2009-12-15 - 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? 
2009-12-14 - 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!
Best western ever!
2009-10-28 - The Outlaw Josey Wales is the best western movie I have ever seen. And that includes the great standards like Shane and others. Clint Eastwood gives an unforgetable and powerful performance as a Confederate fighter whose family is killed by renegade Union soldiers and his fight to get revenge. I highly recommend this movie...if you like stories of the old west, you will love this movie.
Intriguing revisionist western
2009-10-11 - The Bottom Line:
I've seen a lot of westerns (and at least 5 Eastwood ones alone) but I don't think I've ever seen one quite like The Outlaw Josey Wales, which sometimes meanders during the course of its 135 minute running length but tells an interesting story and is directed with flair; I wouldn't recommend it if you haven't seen many westerns, despite how good I think it is, but if you want a different take on the genre check out Josey Wales.
3.5/4
