A classic Western in the tradition of John Ford and a powerful mystery with the plot twists of Alfred Hitchcock. Jericho is a man haunted by a past he can't remember. His nearly lifeless body is discovered by Joshua, a former slave and cowboy-preacher who nurses him back to health and becomes his trail companion - though he suspects Jericho is wanted for a payroll robbery and the murder of a sheriff. They join a cattle drive, prospect for gold, and eventually homestead a ranch, but they seem to be stalked by violence and death. In an explosive climax, Jericho is drawn back to the wild mountain town which holds the secret of who he is and the past that has eluded him for seven years.

Title: A VERY OUTSTANDING WESTERN WITH STRONG THEMES
Review: IF YOU LIKE CLASSIC WESTERNS LIKE SHANE, HIGH NOON, MY TWO FAVORITES AND SOMETHING LESS SUBTLE LIKE SILVERADO, NOW ONPRIME, JERICHO IS FOR YOU. THERE IS FIRST THE FACT THAT OUR PROTAGONIST, AFTER A RUN IN WITH SEVERAL MEN........WAS HE ASHERIFF OR A MINISTER.......HAS LOST HIS MEMORY. THIS CREATES THE FILM NOIR ASPECT OF THE MOVIE. HE IMMEDIATELY BONDS WITH THE GREAT ACTOR LEON COFFEE, AND A BI RACIAL FRIENDSHIP IS FORMED. YOU CAN SEE ALL THE ELEMENTS OF A GFEAT, SMOOTH WESTERN IN CREATION. HE IS BROUGHT BACK TO HEALTH BY HIS NEW FRIEND AND HIS NATIVE AMERICAN WIFE AND ALL HECK WILL BE AVENGED. THROUGHOUT THE FILM WE SEE SUBTLE AND NOT SO SUBTLE SIGNS OF RACISM, AND IN EACH CASE THE RESULT IS SOLVED DIFFERENTLY AND PIOUSLY. THIS IS A VERY UNUSUAL MOVIE THAT REMINDS US OF A SOFT SPOKEN ALAN LADD OR CARY COOPER OR DANNY GLOVER. THE WHOLE FAMILY CAN WATCH AND EVEN LEARN ABOUT WHAT AMERICA IS OR COULD BE LIKE. TEENS WILL LOVE IT. WHEN THE DENOUEMENT, I.E. UNRAVELING ARRIVES, THE CONCLUSION IS WONDERFUL. A GREAT FIVE STAR FILM.

Title: Classic Western With Strong Characters
Review: Jericho, directed by Merlin Miller, is essentially a budddy movie -- two unlikely but likeable characters played by well-known actor Mark Valley and a legendary rodeo star Leon Coffee who plays an African American preacher in the Old West who is quite capable with a six shooter. Valley plays the sheriff of a small western town who is whacked over the head, tossed off a train and left for dead by a couple payroll robbers. The preacher finds the nearly-dead sheriff and nurses him back to health. The rest of the movie follows the two through various adventures, fights, shootouts in the quest for the sheriff to regain his memory and return home. Some of the minor characters are well-fleshed out; the plot engaging and the settings as realistic as one would expect from a traditional Western. A bittersweet ending, but overall compelling.

Title: It is hard to find this version of Jericho.
Review: I have seen this version of Jericho once on TV and could not find it again...I thank you for the DVD but I have not had a chance to sit down and watch it. I know it will be good.

Title: Sexy and quiet
Review: I don't know just how to explain it, but I love westerns and I saw this movie once on TV several years ago, and wanted to see it again.I tried to get it on netflix but couldn't. So I searched for it online. I think Mark Valley is a great actor.I use to watch Mark on a soap a few years ago. I think it was Days of Our Lives.I guess I had a crush on him. Would like to see more of him in westerns. He's sexy and quiet. Not a loud mouth. I hate that in a movie. Great job Mark.

Title: Jerico
Review: I love this movie! I have watched it over and over. Mark Valley is amazing in this part. I had never heard of him before this movie. I wondered, Why is he not one of the top stars of our time! The music score does so much to make this movie, esp. the song at the end. it just fits the story, and always makes me cry. If it were up to me I would release it again, as surely there was not enough publicity to really make it known to the public. I would have given it 5 stars except for the fact, thought it unrealistic that a family would except a dead body as their loved one, when other body parts can be identified than just the head, and face.Other than that, you will never regret buying this wonderful cowboy tale.

Title: Junk
Review: One of the worse western I have ever seen. How this got five stars is beyond me. About 10 minutes into this movie I turned it off.
