Movie Reviews of Morituri
Movie Review: The more I watch, the more I like
Summary: 3 Stars
The first time I watched this film, I must admit that I fell asleep during it. But over time, after viewing it several times, I found that it was not as bad as I initially thought. In fact it was somewhat entertaining. Some parts of the film are indeed gripping, but for the most part the film is slow-paced. Brando gives a captivating performance, considering what he has to work with, as a saboteur sent to disarm explosives on a ship traveling from Japan to Germany. But I believe top honors go to Yul Brynner in his performance as a grouchy, no nonsense sea captain, who seems more concerned with lighting up a cigar than anything else. Brynner provides a nice and interesting contrast to Brando's cool, slick and self-contained character. And not to be overlooked, actress Janet Margolin, gives a powerful performance as a Jewish refugee that makes the ultimate sacrifice to aid in the effort of disarmimg the ship, her performance alone deserves a star. Overall, I recommend this film with reservations. If you're looking for a faced paced edge of your seat thriller, look elsewhere. But if you're just looking for a decent 1960's Brando film that gets better over repeated viewings then you've come to the right place.
