Tommaso R @trossellini Jan 24 Brando as actor and only time as director is very telling and very compelling. The drama of the movie parallels the drama of him making it and and to think he would never direct again. See more Joseph P. @Pusats Nov 21 A bit long but very compelling story and great acting! See more Tom M Jun 12 Brando does a little mumbling, Malden is steady as a rock. This film seems to be about procrastination as Marlon gets double crossed and seeks revenge. But he hangs around too long, getting involved with his target's stepdaughter and hanging around with a couple of bank robber ne'er do wells. Still, it's quite an involving yarn.

Of course, as you probably would already expect from this movie considering it features Brando, it has great and realistic acting, though he is also directing this picture, the only one he has ever directed infact, which is a shame; there are some absolutely stunning shots here, fully utilizing it's primarly coastal location with the perfectionism of Brando when going in sync with nature itself to get the best looking shot possible, particularly in the waves of the ocean, though the greatness extends to it's other areas such as the notable first 20 minutes or so in the desert, with the eye-catching sandstorm scenes. The story also fortunately strays away from it's bland and generic first impressions and makes way for a convicing and envolving plot that pulls you in right away, though it's pacing certainly takes quite a toll here and there and the movie feels a bit too long, even if just a tiny little bit. See more Rami A @Bunt101 01/27/2025 It's hard to depict whether or not a film will be good based on the responses you hear from people until you watch it for yourself. Throughout his career, Marlon Brando has starred in four westerns, and one of them he directed it. Now, I've watched a lot of Brando films and have always heard this one come into discussions, mostly because he directed himself. It's also notorious for its troubled production. Looking passed all of that, this is actually a marvelous film. Not only does Brando know how to act, he knows how to direct. Brando brings in many styles other than his "method acting." This is no ordinary Western, it's something visually stunning picture, as it combines old and new techniques, and tells a story of love, revenge, and betrayal. See more Read all reviews
