September 23, 2009A strange, very strange, western..It has a mystical feeling about it, not unlike Jarmusch's "Dead Man" (even though they are much different films)

July 1, 2009Interesting and unusual western. I didn't quite know what to make of Millie Perkins performance, she was compelling in some ways, but at times her acting seemed poor. Either way, she was fascinating to watch. Good story

December 27, 2008With only a cast of four, an 80 minute running time and Monte Hellman directing this is a near perfect Western. 'The Shooting' seems in a few ways like Two Lane Blacktop. existentialism poured all over a vast empty desert, characters we barely get to know and of course Warren Oates.

October 15, 2008Ce film prouve une fois de plus que Monte Hellman est vraiment baleze ! Un western metaphysique prodigieux et de surcroit plein d'audace !

December 15, 2007Nice movie to watch, especially at the surroundings! Everything is good about this movie: story, filmmusic (long time when i heard this type of music, last time was with Unforgiven with Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman). Thumbs up!
Well, there are some weak points in this movie...( read more) -
