Pale Rider

Pros: good story, great look of the film, very mystical

Cons: a bit of a ripoff of "Shane"

The Bottom Line: Clint Eastwood at his best.

Review: Behold the Pale Horse. And the man who sat upon him was Death. And Hell followed after. These are lines from the Bible that are used to describe Eastwood's character in this film. The movie starts out in a small mining camp in the 1800's. You hear the...

Pros: best ever Clint Eastwood movies

Cons: na na none

Review: Pale Rider is one of my favorite movies, and in the catagory of westerns
it ranks # number one. Clint Eastwood revives his no name role in this
movie he both directs and stars. It has biblical passages, the pale rider on a pale horse etc etc....

Cons: Can't say for sure, but I can't think of any right now.

This movie is the single most well-known testament to Clint Eastwood's acting...

Pros: Classic Clint.

Cons: LONG.............

Review: Clint Eastwood can do no wrong. This, I believe, is the movie that best illustrates his talents both as an actor and a director.

First off, I think Clint maybe invented the hard-nosed man-of-few-words character. At any rate, no one has...

Pros: Eastwood, Action, Supporting Cast, Score

Cons: Plot a little threadbare but still serviceable

Pros: Well done

Cons: A remake of Shane, therefore somewhat predictable.

The Bottom Line: If you like westerns, you'll like this one

Review: It's interesting to note that Clint Eastwood's career in big screen westerns was marked by a style that mocked and turned around the archetypes (or cliches if you will) of the traditional western, yet when he returned to the western after an absence of...

Pros: typical classic western Eastwood style

Cons: A little violent

Review: Eastwood, for all purposes seemed retired from movie making till "Pale Rider" after nine long years he returns. He not only starred in this one, he directed it.
An unusual story of a town full of fearful gold miners, and the mean...

Pros: Well told tale with great scenery

Cons: A slight rehash of earlier works

Review: Clint Eastwood takes the "spaghetti western" genre and flips it around to make one in the US.

"Pale Rider" is the account of the small, honest, hardscrabble gold panners trying to keep their claim against a rapacious...
