Movie Reviews of The Defiant Ones

Movie Review: The Defiant Ones
Summary: 5 Stars

Another of maverick producer/director Stanley Kramer's consciousness-raising social films, this tale proved a potent metaphor for race relations in 1958. Virtually simultaneous with the rise of the civil-rights movement, this progressive adventure eloquently presented the case for racial harmony in the story of a gutsy prison-break film. Poitier--who at age 30 was set to go where no black actor had gone before--more than holds his own with Curtis, then a big star, who plays the despicable "Joker" to perfection.

Movie Review: CLASSIC FILM STILL HOLDS UP WELL! 4 1/2 STARS!
Summary: 5 Stars

'The Defiant Ones' is a classic film that deals with racism, survival and loyalty. Two prisoners, one black and one white are forced to work together to survive when a prison transport vehicle crashes. The two convicts who are chained together have to put their differences aside to stay ahead of the lawmen who want to put them back behind bars. Poitier and Curtis are in top form in this engrossing drama. Although a bit dated, the film holds up well and the DVD transfer in clean and crisp!

Movie Review: The Defiant Ones Is Defiantly Awesome!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Sidney Poitier and Tony Curtis star in this fantastic film about 2 escaped convicts that are chained to one another and chronicles their attempt to attain their freedom. It's a brilliant film and both actors are great in it! If you like films with depth, intensity and superb acting, then you will LOVE this one! The Defiant Ones has it all! It is absolutely 1 of my favorite films of all time.

Buy it, you'll LOVE it!!

Movie Review: Ok, loved this movie!
Summary: 5 Stars

I loved every minute of it. It's one of Poitier's finest performances, and his chemistry with Curtis is cinematic heaven. They just don't make characters like these anymore. The screenplay is pretty flawless as well.
