Overwiew :An entertaining and wholly different type of western, Martin Ritt's HOMBRE is based on a novel by Hollywood favorite Elmore Leonard (JACKIE BROWN). Paul Newman stars as John Russell, a white man raised by Apaches. When his last living relative dies, Russell inherits property that he decides to sell to a man in a neighboring town. So, Russell gets a ride on a stagecoach, along with seven other white passengers, to make the sale. However, when Russell's Apache heritage is discovered, the other passengers force him to ride on top of the coach. Along the way, the coach is raided by thieves who steal its horses and a substantial amount of money from one of the passengers, named Favor. Russell is able to get the money back from the thieves, but Favor's wife has been taken hostage and, robbed of their horses, the passengers are stranded. Russell is indifferent to the fate of Favor's wife, but the group cannot argue because he is the only one among them who knows the way home. Chased by the thieves for the money they still have, the group has to make a stand at an abandoned mine where they call on Russell to save Favor's wife. |

rogerebert.suntimes.com - : Ah, yes, we know the characters well from a thousand other Westerns. It's fun to check them off: The good but indecisive Mexican, the decisive but bad Mexican, the thieving Indian agent, his cultured wife, the desperado, the lady boarding house operator with a heart of gold, and the Kid.

www.einsiders.com - : “Hombre” presented Paul Newman with yet another anti-hero such as those he played in “Hud” and “The Hustler.” “Hombre” is one of the most unusual Westerns to be produced in the 1960s. It is unique in that Native American Indians are the good guys and the Whites were evil. This was a strong political statement to make in 1967. Of course, the politics are hidden in one of the most taut and suspenseful Western actioners you will ever see. more...

www.filmsondisc.com - : Hombre caught by surprise. It wasn't a quick-draw western, but the taut forceful performance by Paul Newman in the title role was enough to keep riveted to the screen. Newman's central performance as John Russell, the man walking the line between an Indian and white man's world is a fascinating character. Russell has his own code of ethics and the films pivots on his every move. It doesn't hurt that the source material comes from an Elmore Leonard novel. more...
