RIDE IN THE WHIRLWIND
Synopsis
Three cowhands, between jobs, have the bad dumb luck to pitch night camp in the same valley as a cabin full of guys who just robbed a stagecoach and killed the guard. Come morning, a posse arrives, forms up along the ridge, and takes for granted that everyone down below is guilty.

Our take
Jack Nicholson writes, produces, and stars in this counter-culture acid western: a companion piece to Monte Hellman’s The Shooting, and a subversive revision of this most American of genres. A pared-back, poetic and near-hallucinatory film, featuring Warren Oates and Harry Dean Stanton.
