Sinola (1972)

Sinola: Directed by John Sturges. With Clint Eastwood, Robert Duvall, John Saxon, Don Stroud. An ex-bounty hunter reluctantly helps a wealthy landowner and his henchmen track down a Mexican revolutionary leader.

“When a Mexican bandito starts a peasant revolt against the local landowners of the town of Sinola, one of the landowners, Frank Harlan, decides to fight back, and has paid the fine of former bounty hunter Joe Kidd, who was locked up for poaching, to help him. But Kidd soon has a change of heart when he sees the methods Frank and his men use,u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is an okay western, but nothing too special to write home about. Part of the Revisionist Western genre, the film makes us think the bandito is the villain, but pulls a twist halfway. The acting is okay, with Clint Eastwood doing a good job as the title character, the others are either hit or miss. The story is also okay, but it is filled with western clichés and can get too dark at some points. I recommend this for anyone who is a fan of Clint Eastwood or are into westerns like this.”
