For a long time I thought of this film as a revenge epic, but upon watching it again recently I think not, because Josey ends up being hunted. A good flick overall with some strong performances and lines, but there's much that is too unlikely to accept: i.e. the Red Legs kill his family but leave him only wounded, the Union soldiers who cross on the raft making themselves sitting ducks (to which Wales takes little advantage of by only shooting the rope rather than his helpless pursuers) and the silly shootout at the end where the hunters all get killed and one of Wales group gets hit (other than his wound). But then again maybe it's just because I'm a Yankee. Who knows?
