    Well the deer didn't know where he was, and I wasn't sure either. There's a certain school of thought with Eastwood purists that Joe Kidd is far more meaningful than its reputation would suggest. In fact, that it most certainly is not in the lower tier of Eastwood Westerns that ratings across internet forums say otherwise.

    <em>'Joe Kidd'</em> is solid. It's not Clint Eastwood's best work but it's still a role that sufficiently entertains.

    When the Mexican farmers under their leader “Chama” (John Saxon) finally run out of patience with the gringo’s stealing their land, they take matters into their own hands and earn the enmity of opportunist land-grabber “Harlan” (Robert Duvall). Meantime, “Kidd” (Clint Eastwood), who prefers to see life through the bottom of a bottle, has been having his own altercations with the law and so reluctantly joins the posse…
