Movie Reviews

BBC.com - 10/10 by Tom DawsonThis appealingly eccentric revisionist western highlights the critical importance of violence in establishing 'civilized' society in the American wilderness.
The New York Review of Books - 8/10 by Michael WoodAlthough the general western flavor of the film seems all right, an air of pastiche is never far off, as if this were really a western made not by Arthur Penn but by Monty Python's Flying Circus.
The Guardian - 8/10 by Xan BrooksOn first release, Arthur Penn's 1976 western found itself derided as an addled, self-indulgent folly. Today, its quieter passages resonate more satisfyingly, while its lunatic take on a decadent, dying frontier seems oddly appropriate.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Nathan RabinMissouri Breaks begins as a ramshackle comedy and ends as a dour tragedy about the death of the old west with Brando serving as its singularly warped Angel of Death.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Dave KehrIt's a western, of sorts, and for the first half it's a lot of fun. But then things fall apart, and the film becomes fatally episodic.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzBrando admittedly improvised quite a bit in his over-the-top role.
Boulder Weekly - 8/10 by Thomas DelapaIf Penn failed to ride herd on his two superstars, he still was able to wrangle some sharp observations on the clash between the mythic old West and its reality
Newsweek - 7/10 by Jack KrollA beautiful, gleefully weird vanity project that never quite coheres.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Vincent CanbyThe film conveys a fine sense of place and period, of weather and mood and the precariousness of life, which are things that Mr. Nicholson responds to as an actor. Yet the plot, along with Mr. Brando, keeps intruding and throwing things out of balance.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Nick PinkertonA Western-as-capitalist-critique piece shanghaied by Marlon Brando's eccentric bounty hunter trying on brogues, mumus, and buckskin Nudie suits.
