Geronimo: An American Legend Reviews
It’s impressive how Walter Hill’s Westerns consistently come from a place of critical revisionism towards the Hollywood standard of American exceptionalism.

A miscast Jason Patric tackles his role as a combination of a Brando impersonator and a guy who merely needs a nap.

GerĂ³nimo attempts to combine the classical and the correct-with mixed results.

It's Geronimo's rage against the inevitable which is the film's heartbeat and greatest strength.

Despite the film's visual and aural splendors, Geronimo fails to achieve its noble ambitions. Only a totally committed Western lover will be able to watch it without wanting, at times, to shout Geronimo and bail out.

Superior western, mostly historically accurate. Directed by Walter Hill with strong cast.

Visually, action director Hill may be paying tribute to Ford's Westerns in the way he positions the chase and fight scenes against the panormaic vistas, but this Geronimo is curiously bland, neither absorbing nor stirring.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 7, 2006
A gorgeously shot, fair-minded Western that honors Geronimo and the Apaches, but doesn't demonize the U.S. Cavalry. Vastly underrated and far superior to Dances With Wolves.

Not-half-bad historical biopic. A strong cast helps out a whole lot.
