Having just watching Unforgiven, I thought I'd continue on the Clint Eastwood trip and check out one of his alleged classics. I couldn't have been more disappointed. The plot often fails to make sense or rise above a general "these are sum bad dudes" mentality; all the villains are one dimensional monsters bent on raping and pillaging. The Indian characters verge on racist parody and the film never seems to decide if its a comedy or a serious drama. Indeed, I frequently find myself wondering if they intended it to be funny--but im never quite sure. It's so terrible I almost find it entertaining in the vein of Troma team films or stuff like Repo Man. Just surprisingly bad.
