Clint Eastwood's western, The Outlaw Josey Wales, may have violence 2 rival The Wild Bunch but it's surprisingly good entertainment. After refusing to surrending at the climax of the Civil War, Josey Wales sets off into the world to take vengeance... Full review

The Outlaw Josey Wales could easily be the best Civil War era westerns ever done. Nobody could have done the charactor of Josey Wales like Clint. It is all about Josey, a confederate soldier and outlaw being hunted by a relentless... Full review

This is one of the best westerns of the 1970's. By the beginning of the 1970's Hollywood had forgotten how to make a good western. The Italians made better westerns in the 1960's. Only a few directors and actors new how... Full review

The strong points of the film were displayed in the beginning where Wales began to lose his mind over his slaughtered companions. Rage is Wales redeeming strength in the final hours of war. Ends well with great dialog. The acting may... Full review

Josey Wales isn't a perfect film.
Among Clint Eastwood's greatest westerns, The Outlaw Josey Wales is a more traditional western story than Eastwood's typical myth-deconstruction efforts (which include Unforgiven and High Plains Drifter ).

Wales is also given quite an interesting development, ending somewhat between both a hero and anti-hero, mean with his guns but compelled to help people who have fallen in a similar situation like him (an Indian named Moonlight [Geraldine Keams] and a pair of Kansas natives Granny Sarah [Paula Trueman] and Laura Lee [Sondra Locke looking hotter than ever] whom later be Waless love interest); all of this in his quest to somewhat find peace of mind, but with his past haunting him and chasing him... ...

So I'm trying to get my girlfriend to watch "The Outlaw Josey Wales" with me when it comes on cable the other night, and she hates it.
Chief Dan George is perfect in his subtle, deadpan delivery.
This is the best, balls-out and hands-down.
