CHINO (1973)

MORGAN'S RATING

In this classic western, Charles Bronson plays Chino, a horse breeder living a peaceful life on his ranch situated in the spawling Southwest territories. Unfortunately life on the frontier is seldom simple for long. After he falls in love with a local girl (played by Jill Ireland - Bronson's second wife) trouble arrives in the form of the girl's dangerous brother (Marcel Bozzuffi). With his land, love and way of life threatened, Chino is forced to defend himself with any means necessary.
