What make "Josey Wales" so compelling? While not as popular as the 'man with no name' in the "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", the characters are more compelling. Though fictional, the story is based on historical events. We see Josey's life change dramatically for the worse. Revenge drives him, but compassion tempers him. His finest moment comes not when he's in a shootout with his enemies, but when he risks his life for his friends.

The movie was highly entertaining until almost halfway through, then the disc hung up and I could not restart it. I tried several times, and it again started giving trouble at about the same place. I was never able to play the entire movie. It is not worth the effort to try to return the product. I was sorely disappointed.

Perhaps one of the greatest westerns ever. The time was the 1860's, and the nation was at war with itself. A simple Missouri farmer just trying to peacefully raise a family is brutally beset upon by a gang of Union ruffians, "Red Legs", so named because of the red stripe down their uniform legs. He was just tending his fields, but for no reason, they killed his wife and son, and they thought he was dead too. That was a mistake. He was an old fashioned man, the kind who "lived by the feud". Another gang of riders happens along as Josie (Clint Eastwood) is burying his family. These are Confederates, led by a man called "Bloody Bill" Fletcher. They are tracking Capt. Terrill and his red legs; they intend to set things right. The die is cast! The pursuit of mortal enemies now begins. In many places along, and just west of the Mississippi river, this is how the war was fought. Eventually the war ended when Lee surrendered. All of the opposing waring factions were made to surrender; typically, to the winner goes the spoils. When Wales's group decided to surrender, they were double crossed and all murdered. Fletcher wasn't part of the plan to hill the men, but Josie Wales thinks that he was. Josie had refused to surrender, but now he swore life long vengeance. The order to kill all of his fellow riders was given by the same Capt. "Red Legs" Terrill. From here Wales goes on the run as an outlaw, hounded by Terrill with a price on his head. Everybody was after the big reward, and no matter where he went, somebody was ready to try his hand . . .and die! Wales teams up with an old Indian (Chief Dan George). Together they begin a journey south towards Texas, picking up other "strays" along the way, including a young Indian squaw, a hound dog, and an old woman and her daughter. The old woman was traveling to a ranch built by her son who was killed in the war. Along the way, the male relatives of her family were killed by "Commencheros", outlaws who traded alcohol, white women, and guns to renegade Indians. Wales rescues the two women, and along with the Chief, the squaw, and hound dog, sets off for the ranch with the old woman and her granddaughter. All along the way, bounty hunters and Capt. Terrill's Red Legs close behind. Upon arriving at the remnants of the town close to her son's ranch, the group befriends the few remaining townspeople. They find the son's ranch and set up as a home for all, but Wales can't relax. He still can see his murdered family, and can't give up his vengeance. Eventually Capt. Terrill and his men show up and a fight erupts. Presumably, all of the soldiers are killed, and Wales chases down Terrill and kills him too. He is finally able to let go of his hatred and settle down again. Good action western that keeps you pulling for the underdog against the Union soldiers.Read full review
