The Revengers", a western headlined by William Holden

"The Revengers", a western headlined by William Holden, got mixed reviews back in 1972, and it was a box office bomb. Ernest Borgnine wrote in his autobiography, "This western was an attempt to return audiences to the dark territory of The Wild Bunch with a dash of The Dirty Dozen. We had Bill Holden again, and Daniel Mann—who'd directed Willard—tried real hard, but we didn't make it." I think that is pretty spot on. It's such a strange tale of revenge that keeps on switching around while Holden´s character John Benedict seems to handle the murder of his family and his quest for revenge in so many strange ways. There's nothing to like about the bunch of criminals Benedict teams up with, which sort of kill the whole premise of the storyline. "The Revengers" was a disappointment to see.

Rancher Holden picks a select group of hard-bitten

Rancher Holden picks a select group of hard-bitten convicts to help him in his quest for revenge against the killers of his wife and children. Naturally, it doesn't go according to plan. From the era where Westerns had gotten very sour and disillusioned, lovingly photographed landscapes are this film's best feature. Certainly not the off-putting collection of ragtag villains. Hayward's last feature film is not her finest moment.

141227: Harsh film at times. Midway through I

141227: Harsh film at times. Midway through I thought it had taken a turn for the worse but then the true story sets in. It's funny how we can become compassionate towards killers (Chamaco in particular); and worse. By midpoint, some of Benedict's hired help seem more human than he is and perhaps they are. This story caught me totally off guard. Love the fact it was unpredictable. Saw this as kind of a reverse Magnificent Seven. The relationships seemed a bit forced, but with even that, this film cried out for a sequel. Too bad nobody heard. Perhaps we can hope for a modern remake? Actor selection would be paramount.
