This is a good’un.

‘Pale Rider’ features an enjoyable story featuring the gold rush, while the characters are all solid – Clint Eastwood gives a strong performance in the lead role, though I would’ve liked to have seen more of John Russell and his character.

I don’t think it’s perfect or anything, but I got entertainment from it and that’s enough for me – I’ve not got much more to note.

You can’t beat a good bit of Hickory.

The opening to Pale Rider is just excellent, at first all is calm and serene, but then the peace is shattered by the thundering of hooves. A group of men employed by Coy LaHood, tear thru a small mining community, shooting guns and trampling over all in their way. During this callous act of bullying, one of the men shoots and kills young Megan’s dog. When Megan buries her beloved pet, she calls to god to send someone to help them against the greedy LaHood, because LaHood is intent on stripping the locals of their claims, and he literally will stop at nothing to get them. Later on Megan is reading from the bible, she reads aloud to her mother about “beholding a pale horse and that the man who sat on it was death”, we then see a lone horseman riding towards this under fire place…

Behold the pale horse because the man that sat on him was Clint Eastwood! And that’s all you really want to know as regards what drives the film on. It had been quite some time since the movie watching world had witnessed a damn good Western, so it is obvious that Eastwood, knowing the genre inside out, felt it time to remind all and sundry about this engrossing genre and all its little peccadilloes. Riffing on his own High Plains Drifter from 1973 and homaging Shane in the process, Eastwood again uses supernatural leanings to play out this intriguing tale. Pale Rider works well because Eastwood cares for the genre so much, no frame is wasted and the acting on show delivers the necessary amount of quality to enhance the picture’s impact. From the thundering opening to the gorgeous final shot, Pale Rider is an expertly crafted Western that still holds up today as a great entry on Eastwoods CV. Pale Rider. 8/10

‘Pale Rider’
In the Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns of the 60s, Clint Eastwood rose to fame playing the man with no name. In ‘Pale Rider’, Eastwood creates his own variation of this character. Eastwood plays a mysterious gunfighter who is given the name ‘preacher’ because of the preacher’s collar he wears. When the ‘preacher’ arrives at a gold mining community, he helps them stand up against a callous landowner.

Eastwood cuts deep into the film’s characters in what is a rather standard script. Particularly, in the scenes involving the preacher and a gold-mining family. Eastwood also succeeds in giving his film a dark atmosphere which only adds to its intensity.

‘Pale Rider’ may not be as good as the director’s best westerns, ‘Unforgiven’ and ‘The Outlaw Josey Wales’, but it can be regarded as a strong effort in what has been an illustrious career for Eastwood.

Rating: (8/10)

A Supernatural Retelling of “Shane”
A mysterious preacher (Clint Eastwood) protects a humble prospector village from a greedy mining company trying to encroach on their land.

Let us just be honest… this is the movie “Shane”, except with Clint Eastwood in the starring role. Sure, there are some key differences, but from the very beginning the similarities are overwhelming. The outsider with a gun-fighting past coming to save the day…

I love Michael Moriarty. Oddly, although I know he is a great actor, I know him primarily from cheesy films (particularly those of Larry Cohen). After seeing him in “Q”, “The Stuff”, “Pick Me Up” and others, it is odd seeing him play someone serious.

We also have a nice, young, thin Chris Penn. Sadly, he always was in the shadow of his brother. Why? I have no idea… he is just as good here as anyone else could have been.
