grain j Sep 16 Great actors, but slow and boring See more Jorge A @Jartell Feb 27 Having read the not very enthusiastic reviews you find here, I was ready for a disappointment, of course. But fortunately I was wrong. Sure, Brando’s role is a bit eccentric but not out of place for a character that seems to hate society and to love hurting humans and animals alike. He is really something here. Nicholson is superb too, as a tough but sensitive horse thief, and all those great secondary roles feel real and hard to forget. The Arthur Penn’s direction is subtle and the action flows in a relaxing way until it doesn’t. Just remarkable. Great bittersweet western that deserves a bigger audience.

Curiously that tone stopped after a while. Brando's performance was a little too heavy handed for me. I wasn't sure if his Irish accent was meant to be put on by the character, because it was completely dropped for some scenes, or if the actor was getting lazy. Either way I found his character distracting and almost slipping into a Brando "look at me I'm crazy" stereotype. The rest of the cast did well. Nicholson great.

See more KB B @Okbullard 10/06/2023 This was such an amazing movie with it all; drama, action, comedy and a superb storyline. Jack Nicholson was excellent as usual but Marlon Brando stole every scene he was in. It's definitely worth the watch. 4.5 stars See more David R 09/22/2023 Listen. I have no idea how some people including critics have given this classic with an avant- grade touch western middling reviews but I promise you that if you like Nicholson and Brando at their best in a wonderfully complex bloody movie with a great script you will have to really search to find better. It's that good. See more Read all reviews
