Critics Consensus: Recreating the essence of his iconic Man With No Name in a post-Civil War Western, director Clint Eastwood delivered the first of his great revisionist works of the genre.

Reviews

The Barb (Atlanta)

Steve Warren

Although it runs a little long, a good script keeps The Outlaw Josey Wales entertaining, especially for Eastwood fans.

Those who brand Eastwood as a reactionary, conservative filmmaker must’ve forgotten this film; there’s a fair amount of bitterness about the white man.

Eastwood, his fifth time around as director, shows he can handle actors, especially John Vernon (as the tracker) and Chief Dan George. And he surely knows how to direct himself, playing his galvanizing sexiness against his grizzled sense of humor.

It's got all the plot mechanics of a glowering Eastwood revenge Western but -like its hero- the movie keeps getting dragged off somewhere gentler and more compassionate.

A touch overlong, with coverage of events clearly borrowed from the techniques of Sergio Leone, but nevertheless a thrilling Western epic.
