From a non-Western fan!, 14 January 2006
8/10
Author: vimichael from United States

If you're wondering whether or not you would enjoy this picture, if you happen to be a non-Western fan like myself, then wonder no further. I can't even sit through the very well-made classic, "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly", without getting heavy eyelids. Sorry, I just don't like Westerns. With that said, Marlon Brando's "One Eyed Jacks" is an extremely entertaining film for me. After my very first viewing, it has become one of my favorite films of all-time! The cinematography is crisp, with an amazing array of rich earth tones, and THE SUN!!! WOW!!! There are plenty of scenes in which the sun sparkles like a pot a gold over the rainbow! The entire cast is brilliant in the acting department, and Brando's direction is well-paced, and moving. This piece of cinema should be much more appreciated than it currently is (in my opinion). Don't miss seeing this film. You could easily find a copy from a dollar store near you. I found mine on sale at my local Path-Mark, and paid only 50 cents for it! If you find the "Hollywood Classics" version of this movie, you will be pleasantly surprised at how good the picture and sound is on this transfer. I heard the "Westlake" version is pretty good too. Trust me, go find it. You won't be disappointed with your purchase, I'm sure of it!!!
