Oddly, no one person either here or elsewhere on the 'net gushed as I will, about the great shots of the horses, as well as the affectionate tone of Valdez's relationship with the horses. I enjoyed the film, was startled when I learned it was filmed in Almera, Spain (for a fistfull fewer dollars). I was convinced it was in Arizona or even the California Hills, scene of so many westerns.
I will pass over my opinion of the story and cast except to say that it was oddly convincing. I even ... Read More

A ridiculous piece of cinema.
Spoiler Alert.
A horse rancher courts the sister of a ranch baron while helping out a young boy. They plan to marry when the ranch baron intervenes and whips him to near death and kills his horse. The horse rancher then scatters his heard, burns his home and leaves the boy to fend for himself. The sister retreats into oblivion,
Subsequently, we have a ridiculous piece of cinema.
Great cinematography and good soundtrack with pacing to match. ... Read More

We watched "The Great Escape" over the weekend, and Bronson was terrific. So then we got "Chino." First half, great, easy-going, a little bit of "Shane" thrown in, good intro music (I actually found myself listening to the guitar), and some decent horse work.

I have just watched "Chino" and I loved it. The acting is brilliant, the characters are well defined, there is depth and humor, and excellent camera work. The landscapes are magnificent. I didn't find this film boring at all. On the contrary, it seemed a bit short. This film is an important achievement. It has style and beauty. I recommend it to anyone who is not looking only for incessant screams and shooting in Westerns, but for something deeper and broader.

This film certainly is not made for the American hammerhead mind set, no over the top violence and no explosions. What it is a story about a man trying to make his way in the world and to be free, a story that has happened many times over. It is no fantasy western, just grim reality. I wish they would clean up the sound and picture as the film is pretty dated. One of Bronsons better films.
