Movie Reviews

Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) - 10/10 by John BeifussA portrait of life in all its ' dirty, rotten, gallin' ' unfairness and uncertainty.
Kansas City Kansan - 8/10 by Steve CrumOverrated moody western starring Nicholson
The Dissolve - 7/10 by Noel MurrayThere's a pervasive feeling of hopelessness to Ride In The Whirlwind that points the way to later gloomy counterculture favorites like Bonnie And Clyde.
CinePassion - 6/10 by Fernando F. CroceAn astringent naturalism forever on the verge of the hallucinatory
User Review - 10/10 by Bob BNever realized Jack was producing and directing, while also acting, in the 60's, already. Interesting movie, if you're a Nicholson fan, to see how he was back then. Otherwise, can skip this one.
User Review - 10/10 by Nate CI watched this again in class today and I must say it gets better on repeat viewings and may be better than The Shooting. It's a grim and eclectic revisionist Western from Monte Hellman. Actually, revisionist may not even be the correct term since unlike, for example, later revisionist Westerns by Peckinpah or Eastwood, there isn't any nostalgia at all for the West and its macho ethics. Here the West comes across as a place where senseless hangings, shootouts, and jagged landscapes dominate. There is no mythology of freedom to be either celebrated or inverted; all that is left is a desolate and hopeless Beckett-like world. Even when a character escapes at the end, it's doesn't feel like a triumph.
User Review - 8/10 by Ryan KOnly slightly less a masterpiece than Hellman's other magnificent entry into the Western canon, Ride in the Whirlwind's greatest strength lies in its screenplay which supposedly is based on a collection old tales of the early West happened upon in a public library.
User Review - 8/10 by david tHarry Dean Stanton wears an eyepatch...badass.
User Review - 8/10 by Daniel Ghumorous, gripping, and viscereal, maybe even cynical in a nice way at times. There are many lessons to be learned in this film every time I watch it on dvd. I have yet to figure out every single lesson but they are simple ones.
User Review - 8/10 by Jarett BA western stripped down to it's fundamentals, and is rewarded for it. A fascinating look at justice or the lack there of. Again, too bad for the sound and visuals because it is a gem.
