I'm a huge Sam Rockwell fan and I was honestly nervous about seeing him portray this character after he was presented as so vile in the trailer. I'm glad I got over that. One of the best performances of his to date.

Taraji P. Henson is all but unrecognizable in her adaptation of a civil rights activist who's been drawn to the brink after a local school is damaged in a fire. The fire damage threatens to desegregate the schools as there aren't many options for the students, who are caught in the crossfire. What ensues is a mostly peaceful war of attrition that surprises everybody involved.

Stellar acting throughout. Based on fact. Definitely worth a watch. Without understanding our history, we are doomed to repeat it.

"You know what movie popped into my mind? Bad Company. Do you know that movie? This was Robert Benton’s first film, another first-time director that I had great success with. Gordy Willis shot it, you know, the guy who shot The Godfather. This one takes place in the 1860s. It’s about two guys, myself and Barry Brown (a wonderful actor who’s no longer with us), that are running away from the draft of The Civil War, so they decided to go West. An interesting sideline to that; we get a band of guys that fall in with us, John Savage is one of those guys, and who do we run into during our travels but David Huddleston. You know who he is… the Big Lebowski!"

Outstanding western starring and directed by Clint Eastwood. The American civil war transforms ordinary farmer Josey Wales into a ruthless, deadly gunfighter - but when his side is defeated, is there any chance he can leave violence behind and find a new life?

Made just as the western was going out of fashion as a genre, there's a strikingly elegiac quality to this film - it includes all the requisite action and violence, but also considers wider issues about what it means for people to try and live together. Brings real heart and soul to the slightly cartoony character Eastwood played for Sergio Leone. In some ways this is a very serious film, but it also works superbly as a piece of entertainment.
