Movie Reviews

IONCINEMA.com - 8/10 by Nicholas BellOlmos is devastating as the titular Gregorio Cortez.
Creative Loafing - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonDirector and co-scripter Robert M. Young packs his picture with seasoned character actors who add grit rather than glamour.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzA subdued revisionist Western based on a Mexican ballad about a true story.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyFor Director Young, the tragic poignancy derives from the fact that despite rich heritage the alien Anglo culture forced Gregorio to become an outsider and to speak a language that needed translation.
Patrick Nabarro - 8/10 by PJ NabarroAn underappreciated classic of the western genre; one that functions as a proto-revisionist piece repositioning one of the stories of the Old West to a Mexican perspective
The Retro Set - 8/10 by Nathanael Hood...an indie godfather of Chicano cinema...
User Review - 6/10 by Roberto VAdapted from the classic book With His Pistol in his Hand, this interesting film relates the life and legendary events that occurred in early 20th century on the Texas border. The film is very well shot, well paced and acted brilliantly by a cast of bigger than life actors characters. I had to read the book and see the film for a study we were supposed to do in class, but I must say , for once it was pretty fun and interesting to compared the two.
User Review - 6/10 by Federico PRoshomon on the texas border. The hunt is on for Gregorio Cortez, who some consider a hero others consider a muderer and thief. His trial would become a small legend, living on through mexican folk ballads, and southern news papers. The movie uses the Roshomon method of showing a single incident from several perspectives, and the limits of the language barrier and culturual stereotypes, are more defined here than say, "Babel". But besides the wider implications of the film, it's also a pretty good western. Lots of chase scenes, and desert landscapes. There is a tragedy here of miscommunication, that spawns a legend. But at times the hunt does fall a bit flat(this was made for TV), still it's bettern than you might imagine, for the history minded. College history classes, may be more interesting and obscure in approach than their high school counter parts, but Edward James Olmos remains, no matter how far on you go.
