"Man in the Wilderness" is a strange, violent western. It is not for the faint of heart. It is not a gore-fest but it is surprisingly bloody. Richard Harris is great as always. This movie probably would not have worked with any one other than Harris. The rest of the cast were no slouches either. As I watched it I kept thinking of 1972's "Jeremiah Johnson". "JJ" is one my favorites. "Man in the Wilderness" is not in the same league but they are similar. The two would have been a good double feature.
