Movie Reviews of The Reivers
Movie Review: MARVELLOUS!
Summary: 5 Stars
A typical Southern Americana, with great actings, a very well crafted script, an impressive John Williams' score and a breathfaking photography. Everything goes perfect in this delightful piece of American way of living, recreating a time in which 11 year old kids were still innocent. Steve McQueen, Mitch Vogel (the kid) and the grandfather are unforgetable.
With an unconventional story line, the movie is a collection of different episodes about two young fellows and a kid who have the time of their lives in an old-style yellow automovile. Each episode is magnificently carried on, with several funny and very touching moments. Most remarkable of all is the careful insight in the personality of all the characters, making the story very intense and convincing. Don't miss it: it's a wonderful movie, one of those we don't see anymore.
Summary of The Reivers
Mcqueen guides a twelve-year-old boy on a three day journey into manhood. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 06/14/2005 Starring: Steve Mcqueen Will Geer Run time: 107 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Mark RydellThe Reivers, based on a William Faulkner novel, is a spirited comedy-drama starring Steve McQueen in a rare character part as Boon Hoggenbeck, a ne'er-do-well, turn-of-the-century Mississippi farm hand and cousin of 11-year-old naif Lucius McCaslin (Mitch Vogel). The arrival of a handsome new automobile purchased by Lucius' grandfather, Boss McCaslin (a golden performance by Will Geer), causes an uproar when Boon and another cousin, Ned McCaslin (Rupert Crosse), who is half African American, vie to drive the vehicle around town. Boss's departure by train for a funeral gives Boon, Ned, and Lucius an opportunity to drive in style to Memphis, where young McCaslin's eyes are opened to a larger world of hard-core racism, prostitution, corruption, and the tyranny of the powerful over the vulnerable. In short order, Lucius finds his innate decency and integrity lessen the sting of disillusionment and helplessness. Director Mark Rydell (On Golden Pond) keeps things brisk and breezy, but never loses sight of the long shadow of adulthood that blots out Lucius' innocence. Presented in widescreen. --Tom Keogh
