Ulzana's Raid (1972)
Didn't like it, Too Stereotypical
As you can see by a couple of comments already left, this movie is not "PC". In fact, I'd say it's a fantasy movie or, perhaps a political thriller? I find it funny that throughout the entire movie, the Natives are regarded as savages. The movie makes you believe that they were ALWAYS savages and the White Man had nothing to do with it. They don't go into the HORROR of reservation life or the events leading to the imprisonment of these natives. Genocide was committed in that time, but let's not talk about that. Let's make a movie glorifying the HUNT of a renegade group of Apaches trying to fight a war using the EXACT SAME tactics their enemy uses. Let's all enjoy and rate a movie that tells the TRUE stories of the Calvary slaughtering woman, children, old people and men. Let's rent a movie about the people and culture that no longer exist due to the U.S. policy to extinguish the Indian population while we enjoy a nice bowl of popcorn. I'm not buying the message that is being sent through this movie.
Macho Callahan (1970)
Starts off Good....Ends Bad
This movie starts off really great, it shows Richard Kim...I mean, David Janssen in a Civil War Prisoner Camp. The conditions are horrid and he's in solitary confinement....anyway. I think they should have given Janssen more lines, he barely says a sentence throughout the movie. I watched this movie to see David Janssen in a different light other than the Fugitive. I don't know, I think his character could have been better developed. There is this really freaky scene where he rapes this girl then the day after, she falls for him. Yeah, right! The premise of his character is a really rough draft of Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven, I think. Not a bad movie if your a David Janssen fan, but it could have been better.
