ONE STEALS, ONE KILLS, ONE LOVES, ONE DIES.
A gang of rustlers headed by Tom Logan (Jack Nicholson) find themselves in conflict with an eccentric ”regulator” (Marlon Brando).
Arthur Penn’s Western was considered a bomb by many after its premiere, but there’s been some reevaluation over the years. Much of it depends on your stomach for Brando’s shenanigans as the bird-watching, Irish-American killer. Many scenes feel like they’re mostly feeding into his self-indulgence – at the same time, he’s a lot of fun to watch.
Not much of a story here though.
1976-U.S. 126 min. Color. Directed by Arthur Penn. Music: John Williams. Cast: Marlon Brando (Lee Clayton), Jack Nicholson (Tom Logan), Randy Quaid (Little Tod), Kathleen Lloyd, Frederic Forrest, Harry Dean Stanton.
