♥♥♥♥♥ |
The first and last film Brando directed
|
I'm not a big fan of westerns, but this one is definitely worth the 2 hours and 20 minutes of dedication it takes to watch it. The story is constantly progressing and 45 years after it was made it's still an amazing and interesting story.
Marlon Brando (directing and starring) really nailed this one. His Kid Rio is brilliantly calm, with a dark side brewing just under the surface. Five years after being left to be caught by the Mexican law by his bank robber sidekick Dad Longfellow, Rio sets out to find Longfellow and exact his revenge.
What starts out as a revenge film turns into so much more as the characters are developed and the plot thickens. The scenery is beautiful: the kind of rolling desert hills and oceanfront shots you wish there were more of today. Also, Slim Pickens makes a great appearance as a deputy.
The DVD quality isn't that great. As we get more and more used to HD quality images, older films like this one may be harder to watch, as suddenly everything in them seems hopelessly fuzzy, but that has more to do with current DVDs than with the original movie itself. Overall, it's a great watch and worth checking out. |
