Review of Chato's Land (1972) by Black S — 08 Sep 2008
A muscular, lean, & ripped older Chas. Bronson goes on the warpath against a lynching Posse of rapist/racists seeking him for killing a "lawman" in self-defense. The reliable Palance and a cast of stalwart hollywood character acting experts are in in this period revenge tale.
Director Winner ("Death Wish") outdoes Stallone by making the most of Bronsons athletic, hard, vein etched cut muscles & shredded rippled abs, shown as a metaphor for his pure warrior character vs.
the degenerate mix of true criminals and disillusioned innocents drawn into the hunt, but turn out being the hunted to pay for their atrocities. Predictable? Yes, but still worth watching how the events unfold, thanks to the talents of the cast.
Good stuff for fans of the "Bad-ass-mofo" genre of action films...(Note: Created Flixter skin dedicated to this film).
