Extreme Prejudice, the 1987 film, comes from director Walter Hill and features a screenplay by John Milius, Fred Rexer, Deric Washburn and Harry Kleiner. The cast includes Nick Nolte, Powers Boothe, Maria Conchita Alonso, Michael Ironside, Rip Torn, Clancy Brown, William Forsythe and Matt Mulhern. Jerry Goldsmith composed the music, and Matthew F. Leonetti was in charge of cinematography. It seems like a fine day for some violence. Walter Hill offers both respect and satire to the subgenre of action movies focused on a hardened lawman pursuing an outlaw—in this case, Cash Bailey (Boothe), once a friend of Ranger Jack Benteen (Nolte). The story unfolds along the U.S./Mexico border as Benteen tracks Bailey, who is now involved in drug smuggling and also shares Benteen's former lover’s affections. Adding to the complications is a group of former military operatives planning to rob a bank for money and documents that could incriminate Bailey. Relationships are put under pressure, and unexpected developments and bloodshed arise. The film benefits considerably from its casting; it's an assembly of tough actors whose collective experience provides substantial weight. Even Alonso, as the only significant female character, meets the required standard of strength (she also appeared in The Running Man that same year and later starred in Predator 2). A large portion of the story involves intense stares and hard-edged dialogue; Hill takes a deliberate pace, giving depth to the central characters. The visuals are appealing, with real locations looking vivid on screen, and Goldsmith’s score is impactful, foreshadowing his work on Total Recall three years later. The film occasionally feels unusual, at other times it's intensely captivating, and then there's the stylized violence that Hill has demonstrated a talent for, exemplified here by his nod to Peckinpah’s memorable conclusion in The Wild Bunch. It’s a gritty and muscular production, full of strong characters. 7.5/10
