Review of The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) by Dave Kehr for Chicago Reader — 23 Dec 1984
Although the last part of the film becomes repetitive and slightly confused, Eastwood manages the picaresque plot with skill, and his visuals have a high-charged, almost Germanic quality. Wales also possesses a touching emotional vulnerability that marks another significant step away from Eastwood's often-overcriticized macho image.
All in all, a very creditable film.
