    An OK western with Jack Nicholson playing the hired gun

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

    Interesting 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

    With 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.

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

    Nice 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): like the character explanation, why they are reaching their goals. It's more flat characters now...' Wasn't satisfied with the end of the movie... Looked like they had no budget anymore so the movie stopped...

    Conclusion: it's a good movie to watch but Unforgiven is better! Note: Jack Nicholson is playing a nice role as a assassin!

    Good enough performances, just not much of a story.

    Jack Nicholson - 1967. Here goes:

    "I don't give a curlyhair, yellowbear, double dog damn if you did" You've got to love him!

    you'll never see a western quite like it and likely never will.
