| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonA hard-hitting Western saga which sports a chilling twist at the end. |
| Sarasota Herald-TribuneChristopher LloydGregory Peck was the perfect expression of idealized cinematic manhood: Remote yet full of passion, stern but empathetic, skilled in the ways of violence but reluctant to employ them. |
| User ReviewAlly Cgreat Movie, love his passion to proceed into Mexico after what that man had done to his wife. |
| User ReviewAshley H[i]The Bravados[/i] can be considered one of Gregory Peck's best westerns. He was one of the few actors that excelled in this genre. This is a film about revenge, Peck going after the men he thought raped and killed his wife. The film has somber mood in direct contrast with the beautiful colors, Cinemascope, the pretty Joan Collins, everything looking great. I saw this film recently and how much I liked it and I was impressed with the precise pace the story is told and how violent it was. But what did not reach me and still does not reach me today is Gregory Peck's wrongdoings. To me he was the hero until the film ends. The cinematography does not blend with ugly feelings? Or Gregory Peck looks so much like a hero in this film that it overshadows his terrible mistakes? Henry King made Jesse James in beautiful color and more as a legend than an human being. That was his style. That was what the public wanted. If he had made out of Peck an ugly human being I don't think I would have liked the film. |

| User ReviewCresswell SGreat western about one man's revenge |
| User ReviewChristopher KNice story, the revenge driven plot and the action of the hunt give this movie some teeth, but the pseudo love story/old friend Joan Collins part could have been stronger |
