Little and almost unknown western in which three cowboys (Mitchel, Fiser and Nicholson) are mistaken as bandits by a posse and pursued implacably by them. The movie has simple dialogues but its full of meaning and expressive silent expression between the three poor guys involved in the injust and obnoxious persecution. The movie was written by Jack Nicholson. A story that deals with some conceptual problems as injustice, fate and the importance of freedom. In fact, a western made in 1965, exactly the same time of some social contest as the fight for the Civil Rights in North America. 'Ride in the Whirlwind', for that matter, is not just a western movie but a political and social tale. Good performance by Cameron Mitchell. A young Jack Nicholson, with a distant but correct performance,seems to be comfortable in a western adventure, a genre that he never tries today.
