Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - "God knows what God was thinking when he made the Apache."
Although Michael Winner is now a byword for bad movies, for a brief moment in the early 70s his work flirted not just with competence but actually delivered some pretty good action movies. Building on the success of his earlier Burt Lancaster Western Lawman, this doesn't have as strong a script but still makes for an effective, if bleak manhunt action movie.

Reversing the genre norm by having the posse as the villains, pursuing Charles Bronson's `halfbreed' into the badlands and gradually ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - True mystic in Bronson's screen presence...
"Chato's Land" was well suited to Bronson's evolutionary screen persona, that of the strong, relatively silent avenger--a solid figure of firm intention but few words...

As Pardon Chato, the vengeful Apache half-breed, Bronson enjoyed the most vocally reticent role of his starring career, speaking but few lines--and most of those in Apache!

Again, Spanish locations represented the American frontier West for this post-Civil War tale about a white posse's search for Chato, who, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Revisionist Western
Those old movies that featured an "anti-hero" like The Outlaw Josie Wales or The Searchers or Once Upon A Time in the West, should be recognized as a sub-genre. I see where another reviewer has compared this negatively to Paul Newman's "Hombre". Well, fine, but Hombre, written by Louis Lamour, is in a class by itself.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Excellent Western
I enjoyed this Western. Bronson does not have much of a speaking role and is the target of the posse played by an excellent cast. Some great landscapes in the film. Only gripe is that the vultures used in the film were not native to North America. They looked like African vultures to me.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The hunted becomes the hunter
A racist sheriff loses a gunfight in a saloon to an Apache (Chato - played by Charles Bronson) he was tormenting. Chato takes off into the bad lands, and a posse is formed to bring the Apache to justice (i.e. lynch him). Chato eludes the posse with ease until they find his home and rape his wife. He then turns on the posse, the hunted becoming the hunter, and starts to kill them one by one. The story centers on the dynamics of the members of the posse as they are initially enthusiastic about lynching ... Read More
