 Disappointment for this Bronson fan February 24, 2009
Blue Ridge Patriot (USA)

We watched "The Great Escape" over the weekend, and Bronson was terrific. So then we got "Chino." First half, great, easy-going, a little bit of "Shane" thrown in, good intro music (I actually found myself listening to the guitar), and some decent horse work.
Then, just as my 12-year-old daughter walks in, totally unnecessary R-rated sex and a semi-(what's a nice word for "rape"?) scene. Stupid. Insipid. And the rest of the movie is nihilism on a nineteenth-century template.
Waste of money -- and of Bronson.
 An excellent and stylish film November 14, 2008

I have just watched "Chino" and I loved it. The acting is brilliant, the characters are well defined, there is depth and humor, and excellent camera work. The landscapes are magnificent. I didn't find this film boring at all. On the contrary, it seemed a bit short. This film is an important achievement. It has style and beauty. I recommend it to anyone who is not looking only for incessant screams and shooting in Westerns, but for something deeper and broader.
The real west July 9, 2007
J.D. Wissinger (Creeping around in Nowheresville)
This film certainly is not made for the American hammerhead mind set, no over the top violence and no explosions. What it is a story about a man trying to make his way in the world and to be free, a story that has happened many times over. It is no fantasy western, just grim reality. I wish they would clean up the sound and picture as the film is pretty dated. One of Bronsons better films.

As others have said and I agree this movie has a lot of quailty issues for sure. However I could have overlooked a lot of that including some questionable not to mention cheesy content, IF it had had a decent ending. It just seemed so pointless, to have him lose the woman and then he gives up the kid and his ranch on his own anyway. She gives him up to save him and then he gives everything up anyway. What point did that serve? I can deal with a hard realistic ending If it serves a purpose, But this ending just didn't make sense to me.
 VERY BORING AT TIMES October 15, 2004

A HALF INDIAN HORSE BREEDER [THE LATE GREAT CHARLES BRONSON] FALLS IN LOVE WITH A WOMAN [BRONSON'S DECEASED FORMER WIFE JILL IRELAND]. WHEN HER RACIST BROTHER FINDS OUT ABOUT IT, HE GETS ANGRY AND DECIDES TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THIS WESTERN IS SIMPLY TOO SLOW MOVING AND TOO BORING AT TIMES. BRONSON'S DECENT PERFORMANCE IN THIS MOVIE IS THE ONLY THING SAVING THIS ONE. IT'S SIMPLY A WESTERN THAT TRYED TO BE TOO MUCH MORE THAN WHAT IT IS. BRONSON FANS DESERVE MUCH BETTER THAN THIS. IF YOU WANNA SEE A GOOD CHARLES BRONSON WESTERN, RENT OR BUY ''ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST''.
