Overview
After avenging his family's brutal murder, Wales is pursued by a pack of soldiers. He prefers to travel alone, but ragtag outcasts are drawn to him - and Wales can't bring himself to leave them unprotected.
This movie marked Clint Eastwood’s directorial debut and he is also the star. The movie starts off in incredibly awkward fashion. The opening scenes are so awkwardly put together that it is almost like watching a train wreck. The acting in these scenes isn’t much better. And then the movie seems to get on track quite a bit and we start to get into the story. Then an odd thing happened: the movie started to get interesting. By the end of the movie I must say that I was actually engrossed in the plot and the characters. Clint was… well, Clint… but the supporting cast was excellent and the script actually wasn’t half-bad.
