Movie Reviews

Movie Metropolis - 10/10 by James PlathA severely underrated western, one of Eastwood's most stylish.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertNo actor is more aware of his own instruments, and Eastwood demonstrates that in Pale Rider, a film he dominates so completely that only later do we realize how little we really saw of him.
New York Times - 10/10 by Vincent CanbyThis veteran movie icon handles both jobs with such intelligence and facility I'm just now beginning to realize that, though Mr. Eastwood may have been improving over the years, it's also taken all these years for most of us to recognize his very consistent grace and wit as a film maker.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by Dave KehrThough the metaphysical overtones of the screenplay are sometimes awkwardly handled and Eastwood's direction of actors (other than himself) is occasionally uncertain, this was one of the better American films of 1985.
Spirituality and Practice - 8/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatClint Eastwood stars as the mysterious stranger who arrives in a town and challenges the citizens to fight evil.
Miami Herald - 8/10 by Bill CosfordPale Rider may be a risk simply because westerns are not in vogue right now at the box office, but fresh and challenging westerns with Clint Eastwood always will be in vogue.
Combustible Celluloid - 7/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonIt's a lightweight, easygoing affair, reminiscent of some of Hawks' or Ford's lesser Westerns.
Movie Metropolis - 6/10 by John J. Puccio...who else would you want coming to your rescue than the Preacher Man With No Name?
Time Out - 6/10 by Derek AdamsIt's good to be back in the saddle again.
Variety - 6/10 by Variety StaffIt's all been seen before, but Eastwood serves it up with authority, fine craftsmanship and a frequent sense of fun.
