Summary: Foul Mouthed Western
Comment: I don't know who gave this movie a PG rating, but they sure missed the mark. In short, if you do not like taking the Lord's name in vain, and coarse language in general, don't waste your time on this movie. It, also, is nothing like the old Westerns where the good guy was good and the bad guy was bad. In this movie, it seems that every one is bad, or willing to ignore morality when it would seem to benefit them at the moment. So much for honesty, character, valor, chivalry or any other virtues; they don't seem to be of concern in this movie.

Summary: underrated and sublime
Comment: saw this film the other night on cable, pan & scan sadly, and was utterly blown away. forget anything anyone has said about pacing, brando's over the top perf., the ending, just bask in the glow of one of the most literate and sophisticated scripts ever. the complexity and nuances of human interaction, the shifting dynamic and subtextual messages, all thoroughly explored here by thomas mcguane and robert towne. and the film is frequently hilarious. the editing is often abrupt in a way that serves the script beautifully. the portrayal of frontier life, the rutted streets, the human degradation, the brothels, and most of all the humanity, combine to make this a film that transends its shortcomings in a way that almost couldn't have been planned.

Summary: Great classic Western
Comment: This was an early Nicholson film, but you can see 5 Easy Pieces and Easy Rider in the west by watching it. Marlon Brando's plays a crazy regulator and you're holding your jaw that this could possibly be the same person who played the mob boss in The Godfather.
Great pic.

Summary: Brando and Nicholson at Their Best
Comment: 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.

Summary: Brando and Jack - Duel Of Giants
Comment: 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".
