Overly long and anti climactic. Not without it's moments though and the acting is top notch. Special Kudos to Karl Malden
By far my favorite western. It is hard to believe that this movie has gone so widely unnoticed. A spectacular performance by Brando. As an actor, and as a director. A perfect story of a rambling cowboy on a quest for revenge.
Does it count as a debut if it's the only one you direct? Frankly, I prefer Charles Laughton's solo directorial debut to Brando's, but Jacks has its strong points.
Marlon Brando is looking for revenge when one of his bank robbing buddies takes off with the gold and leaves him to rot in a jail cell for five years.
Good western although a little long.
A good, almost classical plot with some good scenes. However, with the exception of a couple of memorable scenes, the result is somewhat boring due to a so-so script.
I did not like this movie, and for the life of me, I really don't know why.
As a movie director, Marlon Brando looses the plot directing himself & cast.
Don't let the age of this film fool you. Pretty decent if you're a fan of westerns. Brando is definitley the Elvis of the silver screen.
No recent reviews.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "One Eyed Jacks" !
