The Outlaw Josey Wales
Joseph Wells decided to start his life in the West after long suffering with bloody civil war, where he decided to live away useful and new life without concern or suffering with a group of settlers who need protection that could be made free of charge. That life that started again may change after a long time when there is a painful past and maybe it can not be escaped.

Though the story is pat...there's pleasure to be had in the memorable one-liners, the irreverent humor...and the Western action against the backdrop of frontier scenery. [Blu-ray]

Eastwood is such a taciturn and action-oriented performer that it's easy to overlook the fact that he directs many of his movies -- and many of the best, most intelligent ones.

Clint Eastwood seized the directorial reins from Phil Kaufman and fashioned this tough, sprawling post-Civil War western epic into something approaching a personal testament.

It's a powerful, revisionist, revenge Western with many unique touches.
