Short Review

It is the blood and dust of my ancestors.In 1858 Montana a woman is kidnapped by a notorious Indian named Grayeagle. He has an agenda for the girl and races her across the plains; meanwhile, the father of the daughter spreads rumors of the kidnapping and hunts down Grayeagle. Why did Grayeagle kidnap the girl and will the father stop him before he achieves his goal?"You could tell me something.""Let's go!"Charles Pierce, director of The Legend of Boogey Creek I & II, Chasing the Wind, The Evictors, Sacred Ground, The Town that Dreaded Sundown, and The Winds of Autumn, delivers Grayeagle. The storyline for this picture is very interesting and contains some nice twists and interactions. The acting is better than you may anticipate and the cast includes Ben Johnson, Jack Elam, Paul Fix, Alex Cord, and Lana Wood."It is a good day to die."I came across this on Netflix and decided to add this to my queue. This was a fun and well done picture that was definitely worth a viewing. It is far from a classic or must see western, but I do recommend this picture to fans of the genre. This is an above average addition to the western genre."I'll never understand why some folks do what they do."Grade: B-
