Movie Reviews of Man in the Wilderness/The Deadly Trackers
Movie Review: AN ABSOLUTE WESTERN CLASSIC
Summary: 5 Stars
I recall the first time I ever saw MAN IN THE WILDERNESS. I had stayed up late to watch the weekly feature on the local station's weekly Western. And there it was, MAN IN THE WILDERNESS, a tale about a mountain man who is left for dead after a brutal grizzly mauling and not only lives to carry on but finds his real life in the process.
First, throw away any misconceptions that this is a historical account. Yes, there are fictionalizations of historical characters. Zach Bass, himself, is loosely based on Hugh Glass. But who cares? The drama here, the sweeping panoramas, the gritty cinematography combine to offer a movie experience the likes of which are just not available anymore.
Richard Harris stars as Zach Bass, a stowaway who became a mountain man, thrust into the West during the 1820's. His mentor, Captain Henry, played masterfully by the inimitable John Huston--one of Hollywood's greatest legends--a man demonized by his past on the sea while being locked within mountains and valleys and pursued by Indians. After leaving Bass for dead, his tormented mind adds Bass's specter to his tormenters.
In the end, this one is a classic tale of obsession, of survival, of priorities and of forgiveness, all set in the rugged grandeur of the frontier. An absolute Western classic.
And, as this DVD features a double feature, forget about the flipside of this one and stick with MAN IN THE WILDERNESS.

Summary of Man in the Wilderness/The Deadly Trackers
He s taking the law and a gun into his own hands. Richard Harris (who played English Bob in Unforgiven and Albus Dumbledore in the first two Harry Potter films) brings bullet-hard ferocity to these tales of vengeance. He s a pacifist turned manhunter in The Deadly Trackers [Side A], aiming to settle a score with the killers of his wife and son. In Man in the Wilderness [Side B], Harris tackles a signature survivalist role reminiscent of his heroics in A Man Called Horse. He portrays Zachary Bass, given up for dead and fighting man and nature during his 600-mile Northwest Territory trek to avenge himself against the fellow trappers who abandoned him. Beware, two-faced friends. Bass is alive...and closing ground.Action & Adventure DVD Video
