Joaquin U @Joaquin1 1 day ago Somewhat entertaining. A western with the usual clichés. The photography is stunning. The cast is good but wasted. The script is so‑so, with cartoonish dialogue. The direction is mediocre — no tension, and the pace is way too slow. Other than enjoying the commanding presence of the actors, with the always charismatic Brando, and the aforementioned cinematography, it’s nothing more than a nighttime filler.

But fine acting by Marlon Brando and Jon Saxon, who although meeting by chance, they seem to have a destiny meant for each other! Also, impressive acting by Antenett Comer, Mexican director, Rafael Campos, Emilio Fernandez! With impressive and surprize acting playing goat farmer, Frank Silvera! Get some popcorn, sit back and enjoy! See more Nick F @RT70468548 Nov 23, 2024 Marlon Brando is always watchable, though not always for fine acting. In The Appaloosa, a 1966 Western set on the Mexican border, he doesn't have to do much apart from look tough and impenetrable and in that he succeeds admirably. He wants to settle down and, with a Mexican friend, just raise horses and has with him a fine Appaloosa he wants to use for breeding. But the horse attracts the attention of a Mexican bandit - well portrayed by John Saxon - who wants to buy the horse as a gift for his girlfriend. But when Brando refuses, the Mexican steals the horse, and the rest of the film centres on Brando trying to retrieve it. This dangerous task unfolds very slowly, with a lot of moody lingering close-ups and at times very little action. But as I said earlier, Brando is always watchable. And when finally there is a confrontation between Brando and the Mexican and his henchmen, it is grippingly played out in a snowy landscape. While far from Brando's best work, this is a good Western with great camera-work and a fine supporting cast and while slow-going at times, is well worth staying the course.
