Movie Reviews

Cinema em Cena - 9/10 by Pablo VillaçaDouglas oferece uma atuação curiosamente divertida, mas o roteiro de Dalton Trumbo (normalmente um mestre) fracassa ao se concentrar na longa perseguição em vez de fornecer elementos para que possamos comprender melhor as motivações do protagonista.
What Would Toto Watch? - 9/10 by Christian TotoKirk Douglas remains the epitome of the rugged individual in the classic neo-western Lonely Are the Brave
The Retro Set - 8/10 by Nathanael HoodAfterwards, [Kirk Douglas] made no mystery of his love of the film, later declaring it his all-time favorite of his work. And why not?
The Spectator - 7/10 by Isabel QuiglyLonely are the Brave, a film fairly stuffed with symbolism, shows how inevitably the heroic, human, in its real sense unsophisticated world of the West and its values are crushed by the synthetic, the mechanical, the wasteful and vicious in modern life.
CinePassion - 6/10 by Fernando F. CroceDavid Miller builds sturdily on Philip Lathrop's widescreen cinematography, but Douglas and Dalton Trumbo's screenplay are the auteurs here
User Review - 10/10 by Jason HI watched it once 49 years ago and have never doubted since that what I watched was an outstanding movie production destined to become a classic.
User Review - 10/10 by Michael GAn overlooked classic from 1962 starring Kirk Douglas as John W. Burns, a cowboy out of touch with the modern world. Book-ended by two great shots, the opening of Douglas gazing at a jet plane streaking across the sky and the last shot of Kirk's hat on a rain soaked highway. A fully realized, poignant, film experience with perhaps Douglas's finest hour as an actor. The bond between him and his horse Whiskey is heartfelt, Whiskey is his only friend, his last link to a world of open territory where men didn't need identification cards and permanent places of residence. Gorgeous black and white cinematography and a good supporting turn from Walter Matthau as the man pursuing Douglas's character add to an already genuine classic. Do yourself a favor and discover "Lonely Are The Brave", don't be turned off if westerns aren't your cup of tea. It's not a western per se, more a parable on humanity and an examination of a man not built for a modern world.
User Review - 10/10 by Roger BKirk Douglas says this was his favorite movie to make. That from a man who one an Academy Award for Spartacus! Based on a great little book called, "Brave Cowboy" this movie is filled with some of the best stars to light up the screen: Gena Rowlands, Walter Matthau (in a early droll comic style that he is now famous for), George Kennedy as the antagonistic prison guard, Carroll O'Connor in a small but funny role, William Schallert (you'll know him when you see him--Patty Duke's TV dad and voice of Milton the Toaster) as a comic deputy who doesn't realize he's funny, and one of the best barroom brawls on film (Douglas fights a one-armed vet). Lots of emotions in this movie, right to the last scene.

User Review - 10/10 by Kayla KIt's a very, very good, but very very depressing movie. Everyone in it brings their +A game. Heh, anytime I see this movie, I picture The Eagles hit "Desperado" as the theme song to this move. It's not, but it's perfect, i think anyways.
