A gruff, gritty Western with '80s machismo!
The Big Picture Few actors epitomize mid-'80s machismo as effectively as Nick Nolte, and few films prove this like Walter Hill's 1987 dark neo-Western Extreme Prejudice. The film is a complete collision of all the things that made the '80s such a unique, if surface-level, decade full of blood squibs, character actors often giving performances overshadowing those of the lead actors, and prioritizing spectacle over plausibility and logic. Extreme Prejudice is no exception.
From the outset, it's clear that Extreme Prejudice is interested first and foremost in delivering an exciting slice of gritty, bloody Southwestern action with healthy doses of macho posturing and shootouts caked in dirt. The movie isn't particularly concerned with making some broader statement about masculinity or about the human condition at large the way that other neo-Westerns of the past thirty years have done, à la No Country for Old Men or Unforgiven.
