Steve R @strauw Aug 19, 2026 Redford is great as always, and non-Indian actors playing Indians, however lame, was the norm then, but no Indian woman, ever, posed and flipped her hair around like the sexpot she was hired to be like Catherine Ross. Pathetic. See more Christian M @chriss17eu Jan 30, 2026 ''Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here' surprised me with its energy and moral depth. Far from a flat, performance-driven western, it balances pursuit-driven action with personal and ethical stakes. Robert Redford exudes confident presence, while Robert Blake brings a tense, restrained gravity, and Susan Clark adds emotional grounding. The hunt for the "villain" remains dynamic and engaging, aided by a score that immerses the viewer in the desert landscapes. Minor genre clichés appear, but never fully undermine the experience. Concise, taut, and unpretentious, the film thrives on strong performances and careful pacing, making it one of the most enjoyable westerns I’ve seen in a long time.

The music is good and besides Redford probably the best things here. Everything else isn't bad here. This is effectively a cat and mouse chase across the West hunting down an Indian whose jumped the reservation for reasons. Simple setup enough. But the problem is focus. The first 20 minutes or so is very clunky and rough in setting up characters and it's honestly a bit boring. Than once the pursuit starts it finds a rhythm but loses it when they head back to town and it becomes about the President and all. It feels pointless, kills momentum, and than it becomes about the romance with Redford and Ross which isn't bad either but it just doesn't fit well. It feels like the background throughout it tries giving Blake & Redford is two totally seperate movies and the break in the middle comes at the worst time. When it focuses just on the chase across the West it's good. It's just a shame they couldn't figure out how to make it work better. As is anyone whose a hardcore Redford or of any actor here may get something out of this but most could skip it and not miss much.
