Chris B @Papa13070 2 days ago A memorable western with plenty of action, but the guns-holstered moments really kept me invested; the quiet scenes, surprisingly. There's a purity to this beat-down mining town and its unassuming people struggling under the thumb of its unmistakable black hat. That goodness extends to the star himself, Eastwood's ghostly Samaritan who volunteers to step in and even the odds. He's good in this role, and the developing relationships with his surrounding characters feel authentic (Moriarty and Penny are integral). Eastwood has attained godlike stature in this genre over the decades; there's a reputation involved here. But I found myself wanting more of the day-to-day scenes, even after the smoke cleared and the job was done. See more

Jeremy P @Jezza_Linko Oct 10, 2026 legendary Clint Eastwood to the rescue, kicking ass and take names as usual best in the movie business See more

Huntin P @PaxVobiscum80 Sep 15, 2026 Not as highly regarded as High Plains Drifter, of which it appears to be a remake, Pale Rider is, nonetheless, mighty fine entertainment. Eastwood directs and stars as the Preacher, a mysterious stranger who comes to stay with some prospectors panning for gold. A larger outfit, who are blasting the territory with water, I think for the same purpose, want the prospectors off the land, but they won't give up their claim. Things turn ugly. Luckily, Preacher is handier with the pistol than the prayerbook. "Sarah...close the door." See more

Claudio C @Claudio666 Aug 25, 2026 Pale Rider (1985) Magnificent Cinematography In a Stunning Landscape (12,642 – 30 Nov 2002 / 24 Aug 2026 – Claudio Carvalho) "Pale Rider" (1985) is another magnificent western by Clint Eastwood. The first point that impresses is the magnificent cinematography in a stunning landscape. The direction and acting is also top-notch, with outstanding action scenes. The mysterious preacher has elements of an ambiguous supernatural element. The story uses elements from "Shane" but is also great. My vote is eight. Title (Brazil): "O Cavaleiro Solitário" ("The Lonely Rider") See more
