Movie Review: Strange and unpredictable "Western"
Summary: 5 Stars
You've never seen a Western quite like this one. Penn and company turn the genre on its ear with the bizarre Marlon Brando as a regulator with whom no one can sympathize, even though he's on the "right" side of the law. You find yourself sympathizing much more with Nicholson, Stanton, Quaid and the other horse thieves, as well as with a rich man's daughter, who falls in love with Nicholson, the "bad boy." Great scenery that stretches all the way into Canada from the Mighty Mo River.Movie Review: It ain't no shoot-um-up western...
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a little draggy but I liked the actors. Good actors can make a good movie great. I liked this movie and saw it when it first came out and have always wanted to own it. Jack and his buddies are horse thieves while Marlon is the 'regulator' hired to catch them. Marlon is an expert marksman and a little ecsentric while Jack is a down to earth horse thieving country boy. It's not your typical shoot-um-up bar brawling western. It has a nice plot and a surprising ending...Movie Review: Brando and Nicholson at Their Best
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent performances by Brando and Nicholson as well as those of the supporting cast. This movie is a superior Western tale and has a balanced amount of the violence, humor, and romance. Notable lines include those of rustler Nicholson to vicious oddball killer Brando, who was pressing him for background information, "I was in the implement business.." and the hilarious pre-sentencing speech by the self-named 'Lonesome Kid". They need to put this great film on Blu-ray.Movie Review: A very satisfying film
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't seen any other of Arthur Penn's films, but I enjoyed this one as a start. The script is great, as is the acting, epecially Marlon Brando's turn as the eccentric "Regulator" Robert E. Lee Clayton. Jack Nicholson is also pretty good. If you're a fan of westerns, the stars, or even just damn good movies, check this film out.Movie Review: Brando and Jack - Duel Of Giants
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't get tired of watching this film over and over , specially the scenes of Marlon Brando, that are unforgettable (he was so funny in most of them). He was surely the best actor of ever. Moreover, there was Jack Nicholson too! What else to say? That's why this film, here in Brazil, was properly named "Duel Of Giants".
