Movie Reviews of Silverado (2 Disc Superbit Gift Set)

Movie Review: Larry's over-the top Western
Summary: 2 Stars

This film was released in the same year as Eastwood's "Pale Rider" and was supposed to signal a renewal of the Western genre. It barely succeeds because of Kasden's writing and direction, "Silverado" is totally lacking in a central character with too many subplots and no central theme like "Rider" which has held pretty well over the years (I, myself, still prefer "The Outlaw Josey Wales")--it's like a Western on steroids. There is plenty of action here, but hardly no full bodied characterizations here like Brian Denehy's villain could have been better developed but only emerges as a one note bad guy in the writing. You may as well have been seeing Indiana Jones in his cowboy gear for all I care since Kasden doesn't know when to stop . In fact none of the characters in this film are particularly memorable except perhaps Kevin Kline and Ms Hunt as the diminutive bar keeper who Kline takes a liking to but even their characters seem paper thin here too!! I don't blame Costner either for his ridiculous portrayal of the Kid since he much preferred to play Scott Glenn's character instead--again blame it on Kasden. Entertaining, but instantly forgettable like a Big Mac!!

Summary of Silverado (2 Disc Superbit Gift Set)

Director Lawrence Kasdan (The Big Chill) clearly set out to make an old-fashioned Western, but he couldn't help bringing a hip, self-conscious attitude to the proceedings. Silverado thus finds its own funky tone--sometimes rousing, sometimes winking. Four cowpokes converge on a little Western burg called Silverado; they're played by Kevin Kline (a distinctly modern kind of Western hero), Scott Glenn, Danny Glover, and the rowdy young Kevin Costner. Kasdan peppers the somewhat generic action with smart dialogue and a parade of quirky supporting players, including John Cleese as a sheriff who seems to have stepped straight from a Monty Python sketch into an Old West saloon. Bruce Broughton supplies the music, a real throwback to the glory days of thundering Western themes. One thing's for sure: Silverado's a lot more fun than the later Kasdan-Costner Western, Wyatt Earp. --Robert Horton

Get ready for some horse-ridin' gun-totin' whiskey-drinkin' fun in this digitally remastered collector's edition of Lawrence Kasdan's SILVERADO featuring a never-before-seen featurette with interviews from the cast and the filmmakers! The spirited Western stars Kevin Kline Scott Glenn Kevin Costner and Danny Glover as four unwitting heroes who cross paths on their journey to the sleepy town of Silverado. Little do they know the town where their family and friends reside has been taken over by a corrupt sheriff and a murderous posse. It's up to the sharp-shooting foursome to save the day but first they have to break each other out of jail and learn who their real friends are. Thanks to its authentic look and spectacular cast which also includes Rosanna Arquette John Cleese Brian Dennehy Jeff Goldblum and Oscar?-winner Linda Hunt (1983 Best Supporting Actress The Year of Living Dangerously) this exciting Old West adventure created a whole new generation of Western fans and earned its "modern classic" status.System Requirements:Running Time: 132 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: WESTERN/MISC.
