On the Waterfront Reviews and Ratings
-
-
January 22, 2008Beautifully made film. Elia Kasan's best film. States that although it may be tough to do there are situations in which you should tell the authorites what you know.
-
January 16, 2008Fantastic movie,with a great performance from the peerless Marlon Brando and a good supporting cast.
-
January 15, 2008Brando & Rod Steiger 2 method actors fighting it out with their screen performances with Brando taking his first Oscar. Great storyline of how Unions controlled "the waterfront".

-
January 7, 2008a terrific, memorable film. Brando is absolutely superb. A true classic that tells the enduring tale of corruption and overcoming it.
-
January 4, 2008Downtrodden and guilt-ridden, Marlon Brando puts in a stellar performance as Terry, an overrun union worker who finds himself torn between loyalty and morality. Things take a little while to shape up, as we are bluntly shown the mean streets of which Terry resides, post-mortem ...( read more)

January 3, 2008You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it.

December 26, 2007Brando when he was handsome and good at acting and not crazy and fat.
-
-
December 18, 2007The classic tale of man stuck between good and evil. Marlon Brando as that man, Karl Malden as the Priest trying to help the union dockworkers stand up for themselves - and a beautiful Eva Marie Saint in her very first role. Directed by Elia Kazan. This swept the Academy Award...( read more)

December 9, 2007In my humble opinion, this is the greatest movie I've ever seen. It was the first that opened my eyes and showed me how amazingly moving a film can be.
-
November 25, 2007I don't know what to say about this movie that hasn't been said. It's good on so many levels, in fact, that I might just not know what to say. (Having just watched Raging Bull, though, it will be watched again shortly!)

November 17, 2007My favorite movie, and a searing expose of the dark side of the labor unions in those days. Brando is electric and at his simmering peak in this one, and the overall cast is superb. In a way this movie was probably a decade or two before its time.
-
November 10, 2007And it's obvious that Brando was exceptionally good. It's a sad story but very, very good.
-
November 9, 2007I just saw this movie for the first time. I fell in love! Brando is magnetic !

October 24, 2007If you ever doubt if Marlon Brando was a good actor... watch this. He's phenominal in this.
-
October 23, 2007Brilliant. Great story, great acting. Its one of them films that is unpredictable. Brando is a great actor.

October 22, 2007Marlon Brando in his youth
and the director Elias kazan , made a marvellous film with criticism in society ..the film took 8 Oscars -
October 21, 2007Such a great cast. A wonderful movie - you'll wonder why you waited so long to see this.
-
October 13, 2007Excellent classic movie with some unforgettable performances. I don't really know what I can say about it that I am sure someone else has already said better.
-
October 13, 2007I know Elia Kazan did something wrong, but it doesn't have anything to do with this powerful, moving, indisputable masterpiece. Marlon Brando stands out in the role of his life.
-
October 12, 2007A tight, well-written, classic drama. More about the human contradictions that the political ones, especially the struggle of workers to build better lives for themselves and their families. The overall theme is the importance of overcoming fear.

September 15, 2007Elia Kazan's classic On the Waterfront is a sensational piece of work. Not to mention Brando's performance as Terry Malloy, his performance is one of the greatest in film history. The entire cast does well, but Brando just out does everybody. Everytime I hear that "I coulda been ...( read more)

September 12, 2007Features the famous "Me.. I coulda been a conteda" speech. Great Brando performance and a superbly shot film
-
September 8, 2007Brando is in three of my top 15 favorite movies. That's pretty impressive.

September 1, 2007Brando oozing power and vulnerability in the same shot...some of the best acting ever
-
August 31, 2007I'm not going to deny that this is a brilliant film but it somehow left me cold.
-
August 30, 2007I've always been a big fan of water, so you can imagine how excited I was when I heard about this movie.
-
August 28, 2007Eva Marie Saint was wonderful but I felt Brando was a bit overrated in this one
-
-
August 26, 2007I call The Godfather The Father of all mafia films, but before The Godfather there was On The Waterfront, which i call The Grandfather of all Mafia Films, Marlon Brando gives a performance that you will never forget, and the whole last scene you will never forget.
-
August 25, 2007Brando reminded me of De Niro in this movie watch this then watch taxi driver youl see what i mean
