Joe Kidd (1972)
Directed by John
Sturges this film stars Clint Eastwood, Robert Duvall, John Saxton
and Stella Garcia. A former bounty hunter gets involved in a land war
between a white land baron and a Mexican revolutionary.
This is a pretty
standard Clint Eastwood western and one of a number of westerns by
director John Sturges. The plot holds little in the way of surprises
and covers much of the same ground as many other revisionist westerns
of the period. There are some nice shots showcasing the mountainous
landscape used as a back drop but otherwise the execution of the film
is pretty average too.
3/5
