Having finally retired after several years of fighting, the outlaw "Josey Wales" (Michael Parks) is alarmed to hear that two of his friends have been killed in Mexico while another one named "Ten Spot" (Robert Magruder) has been abducted and is soon to be hanged by a corrupt government official named "Captain Jesus Escabedo" (Everett Sifuentes). So, to rectify this situation, Josey and two colleagues head south to free Ten Spot and kill everyone who had a hand in the death of his other two friends. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this movie had a pretty good plot to work from, but the low budget behind it seriously impacted the overall product. The lighting wasn't that good and the sound could have used some improvement as well. Along with that, although the actor chosen to play the part of Josey Wales didn't perform too badly, he wasn't quite able to really capture the on-screen presence or the magnetism of his notable predecessor. At least, I didn't think so. Be that as it may, I can't say that I was very impressed with this film, and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.
