Brando ittedly improvised quite a bit in his over-the-top role.

This appealingly eccentric revisionist western highlights the critical importance of violence in establishing 'civilized' society in the American wilderness.

If Penn failed to ride herd on his two superstars, he still was able to wrangle some sharp observations on the clash between the mythic old West and its reality

Although there are obvious flaws, there's a lot to recommend what turns out to be a dark, cynical work with some finely honed character acting from both men.

... worth seeing if only for the madness of Marlon Brando ... it's not hard to see why some charge him with sabotaging the film with a genuinely bizarre performance

Brando's conversation with his horse, in which he notes that the animal has "the lips of Salome and the eyes of Cleopatra," must be seen to be believed...

A Western-as-capitalist-critique piece shanghaied by Marlon Brando's eccentric bounty hunter trying on brogues, mumus, and buckskin Nudie suits.

Interesting, even if not cohesive, Brando & Nicholson western.

Slightly lacking in tension but with a striking performance from Marlon Brando

Enjoyable, if forgettable, New Hollywood shtick.

As a film achievement it's corned beef and ham hash.
