Review of Pale Rider (1985) by Bob W — 20 Aug 2016
Clint as a violent, vengeance seeking ghost-like preacher with religious overtones from Rev. 6:8. In many ways a variation on a familiar theme (man with no name, big shoot out at the end, High Plains Drifter)--the quiet ambiguous western loner character that ultimately shoots his way to justice in the most macho, albeit implausible, battles.
Eastwood would finally perfect this sort of story line with Unforgiven.
