Movie Reviews

New Yorker - 10/10 by Richard BrodyOffers the anticipated measures of doomed love and sudden death but surprises with its dramatic richness.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You - 9/10 by Leo GoldsmithAs brash, unsubtle, and pointed as Fuller's best work.
Film Frenzy - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonIt's clear that the double entendres will continue to fly at a fast and furious pace in writer-director Samuel Fuller's rowdy Western saga.
The Skinny - 8/10 by Chris BuckleAn early example of genre revisionism, but the tone isn't always so serious thanks to some of the most overt innuendo ever put on screen.
Urban Cinefile - 8/10 by Andrew L. UrbanHere is Sam Fuller in top gear, as writer, director and producer, with a Western that is solidly crafted and brilliantly cast. Barbara Stanwyck is at her peak, although her peak lasted decades
Combustible Celluloid - 6/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonStanwyck is as stunning and fiery as she was all the way back in Baby Face (1933), and she helps make this one of the best Westerns of its day.
User Review - 10/10 by Sean KACE. Check out the scene Godard references in Breathless.
User Review - 10/10 by Knox MWow. This movie is not only incredibly stylish in a dark and gothic way that most westerns aren't, but it's just completely off the rails crazy. Especially considering that this is a big studio western film of the 50's, it feels more like a piece of irreverent indie exploitation western with nods to the 50's cliches than an actual 50's western. I could see the influence that this must have had on Sergio Leone in particular throughout the whole thing, especially in that the way Fuller frames the town reminds one of Once Upon a Time in the West. Not only that, but the film sparingly uses extreme close ups on the eyes, quick cutting, and odd angles. All later Leone style staples. I kept being reminded of Clint Eastwood's later "Unforgiven" as well in its visual style, not to mention Tarantino. Forty Guns is just bizarrely violent and sexy for its era, and the whole thing flies right by you in its brief run time. I had a lot of fun being thrilled by the visual creativity of the film and the erratic extremity of its emotions.
User Review - 8/10 by Tomas T40 Guns is a western for 21th century youngsters, straight to the point without too much merry go around, so typical for other older dozen produced westerns. The fact that there is not too much of the basic western aspects included makes 40 guns so likable, sure there all the stereotypical western aspects in it, but they are kept to the minimum, making the movie very approachable. There are the good guys and the bad, they fight it out and the best one gets the cake so to speak. 40 Guns is not an Oscar winning flick, but it is a damn good western nonetheless.
User Review - 8/10 by Martin TFor me the highlight is the fantastic widescreen photography, making excellent use of low-angle shots. Particularly stunning are the opening sequence and the exciting tornado scene. The plot is a little standard, but still keeps you interested. I'm a bit tired of "death of the old West" motifs but it's not overbearing and the way the characters lament their roles is interesting. Probably the biggest flaw is acting. Stanwyck's terrific and Sullivan is okay, but the supporting cast is pretty weak.
