Release Date: 2005-05-24, Rating NR (Not Rated),

Jim Douglas (Gregory Peck) rides into town the night before the hanging of four outlaws. He s been on their trail, believing they raped and killed his wife. But hours before the execution, the four escape, taking a beautiful young woman hostage. Now it s a murderous race to the Mexican border. Taking charge of the posse, Douglas tracks down the criminals one by one-until the stunning, powerful conclusion reveals a terrible secret that leaves Douglas more desperate for salvation than revenge!

When four men who Jim Douglas Gregory Peck believes raped and killed his wife escape from their death sentences Jim sets out to track the men down and enact his own vengeance. An honest man Jim sees his actions as just and brave but as he crisscrosses Mexico to exact an eye for an eye he comes to realize that he has lost something of himself in his self-absorbed quest for revenge. Peck did his best work in characters with strong arcs and THE BRAVADOS is no exception. Carrying the film from scene to scene Peck hits his mark dead on when he realizes that the men he is after may actually be innocent providing an exceptional cinematic moment. Joan Collins does a fine job as Josefa Velarde an old flame of Jim's but Peck's real costar is the gorgeous color photography of the mountains and ravines of the Mexican countryside.
