Chato's Land is the second of two westerns directed by Michael Winner in the early 70's, the first being Lawman. Many of the actors who appeared in Lawman are also in Chato's Land. Chato, played by Charles Bronson, is pursued by a vengeful posse after killing a lawman, who provoked him. But he turns the tables on them and soon he is hunting them, and they know it. The posse is led by Captain Quincy, a former Confederate soldier played by Jack Palance. He is basically a decent man who respects Chato, but is unable to control his men, and this has fatal consequences as Chato gradually picks them off. The posse end up trapped in Chato's Land, and the climax sees the last survivor trying to escape, but Chato won't allow him to, and he has no choice but to go back. I really like this film. Recommended.
