Joshua (1976)


Lone Star Pictures
Directed by Larry Spangler
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Blu-ray, Code Red)

Arriving home after a stint in the Civil War, Fred Williamson finds out his mother has been murdered by a group of marauding bandits. He sets out to find them and kill them one by one. It's a basic revenge western formula, with Williamson giving his best Clint Eastwood impersonation as the "black rider". It all takes place among spectacular Utah landscapes with a moody, if anachronistic, electronic score. A nice change of pace from the usual low budget blaxploitation fare for Williamson.
