Pale Rider - 1985 - 6/10

In a “later” Wild West, a small group of prospectors are intimidated, threatened by the larger firm.
Yes, think of them as the property developers of their day.
The larger group’s treatment of the environment is equally reprehensible.
Enter the righteous stranger, possibly straight from High Plains Drifter.
The look feels spot-on. I’m referencing Silent era films, how they portrayed the West of two decades before.
The messages are heavy handed, weighing the film with self-importance.
Pacing is sluggish throughout and tropes borrow from other, better, Eastwood vehicles.
