I watched Joe Kidd based on the strength of its pedigree-- actors Clint Eastwood, Robert Duvall and John Saxon, director John Sturges and writer Elmore Leonard--knowing full well that it didn't get very strong reviews when it was released. I found that this film was fairly... read more

I liked this one too...I guess Mr. eastwood can't do no wrong for me, love his westerns. Good or bad I love his work and his damn face is the one you picture when you hear the word Gunslinger...
