6/10
Very offbeat western but pretty good
18 January 2005
Leonard Maltin called this the worst "big" movie ever made but i don't see it that way. Rancher brings in killer, played by Brando, to rid area of horse thieves, led by Nicholson. Slow talking Nicholson is great as the laid back and likable horse thief while Brando gives a totally off the wall, but very entertaining performance. Harry Dean Stanton has a prominent role and is great as usual. If they ever make a supporting actors hall of fame, Stanton has to go in right after Strother Martin and Warren Oates.

The critics hated this movie like they hated nearly all Brando flicks because Marlon wouldn't suck up to them. But it's a good show.
