One-Eyed Jacks Reviews
Favorite
Im 60 and have seen many films. This is my favorite. Not because of the plot..its ok, but the cast is the best. Brando is my all time favorite. Malden can hold his own with anyone in this type of picture, and the rest, but Ben Johnson is the standout for me. When he blanches in the cabin on the ocean when Brando throws the table. Its one of the best scenes in any movie I,ve ever seen. I saw the movie when it first came out..bought the VHS a few years ago and keep it in the safe. I watch it once a year weather I need to or not.
Much ado about nothing.
I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I SAW A MOVIE WITH SO MANY GLOWING REVIEWS THAT TURNED OUT TO BE SO DREADFULLY DULL. BRANDO DESERVES PROPS FOR HIS AMBITION. CLEARLY,HE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A FILM OF EPIC PROPORTIONS. UNFORTUNATELY THE FILM IS SLOW AND THE SCRIPT FORGETTABLE.AND IT'S HARD TO FEEL ANY SYMPATHY OR HATRED TOWARDS BRANDO'S QUIET "RIO". ONLY CLINT EASTWOOD & CHARLES BRONSON IN SERGIO LEONES "SPAGHETTI WESTERNS" COULD GET AWAY WITH SAYING SO LITTLE IN SUCH A LONG FILM. ALSO, CONTRARY TO WHAT MOST OF THE REVIEWS SAID,THE MOVIE ITSELF BREAKS ONLY A FEW MOLDS THAT WERE TYPICAL OF WESTERN MOVIES. IF YOU WANT TO SEE AN EPIC MOVIE THAT TURNS WESTERN CLICHES ON THEIR HEAD THEN YOU'VE GOT TO SEE "THE GOOD,THE BAD,AND THE UGLY" AND "ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST".PREFERABLY IN LETTER-BOX EDITION WHICH TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE 70mm PANORAMIC CAMERA EMPLOYED TO FULL EFFECT. SOMETHING BRANDO AT THAT TIME CLEARLY COULDN'T DO OR APPRECIATE AS AN ACTOR/DIRECTOR. I'LL TAKE ACTOR/DIRECTOR KEVIN COSTNER'S BEAUTIFULLY FILMED "DANCES WITH WOLVES" OVER THIS ANY DAY.
