Pale Rider | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Pale Rider does nothing to disprove the wisdom that this genre is best left to the revival houses. A double feature of Shane and Eastwood's High Plains Drifter will do just fine, thanks.

It had been so long since a quality western had hit America's screens that it appears as if Eastwood purposely set out to remind audiences of all the elements that make the genre work.

It's all been seen before, but Eastwood serves it up with authority, fine craftsmanship and a frequent sense of fun.

His saddle bag is a mixed one, though Pale Rider still has the touch of quality associated with latter-day Eastwood. [Blu-ray]

...who else would you want coming to your rescue than the Preacher Man With No Name?
