It's a terrific role, a sympathetic baddie who has certain standards
An often fascinating film -- not good exactly, but never lacking in strange interest -- that features one of Brando's least 'methody' performances.
Marlon Brando gives a pleasingly subdued performance that is devoid of his usual Method acting mannerisms.

Super Reviewer
(1969) The Night Of The Following Day
THRILLER
Marlon Brando and gang intercept and then kidnap wealthy heiress using her as bait to blackmail a specific amount of money from her wealthy father, and instead of working together some are backstabbers or turn against one another with the Brando character being the most sincere character of the group. Despite great performances the end of the movie totally convolutes the entire film. And as a result of the ending I wanted make some sense out of it by listening to the director himself, but the thing is upon listening to him I can barely understand anything he's saying since he's older and speaking in raspy tones therefore, the 'director commentary' needs subtitles since I can't understand what he's talking about as he's talking through it.
