Extreme Prejudice (1987) ****

A tough modern western with amped-up action, an atmospheric Jerry Goldsmith score, and a superb cast—including Nick Nolte, Powers Boothe, Michael Ironside, Maria Conchita Alonso, Rip Torn, Clancy Brown, and William Forsythe—Walter Hill's Peckinpah-inspired Extreme Prejudice (1987) (from a story by John Milius) is a highly satisfying tale of a stoic Texas ranger, a flamboyant drug kingpin, and a group of charismatic rogue soldiers.
