Watch The Revengers For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I first watched this film more than thirty years ago, and I hated it. I must say that I discovered THE WILD BUNCH only a couple of days before...How the hell can any one compare this piece of crap to Sam Peckinpah's masterpiece? Because there are William Holden and Ernest Borgnine in it? I waited more than thirty years to see it again; maybe sometimes you can expect a different point of view, you may be more mature, you may watch in a more accurate way and, why not...But no, this feature seems even more dull and useless to me as a camel would be in the North Pole. I don't know if it is because of the director - Daniel Mann - who has never been an action films one. The actors direction seems OK, but it is the story which is dumb at the most. Poor Susan Hayward who gives here,as far as I know, her last performance. She deserved better. Far better.Forget it, a total waste.

Take William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Susan Hayward and others strong actors, put them in the Wild West with a story of revenge and anger... With any director you should have a good western. But not with Daniel Mann: the poor soul handles his camera like if it was nine pound hammer, the script goes absolutely nowhere, trying to follow all the usual western movies tracks, including an appalling eyebrow to spaghetti western and Holden seems so tired and uninterested that you will be taking very hard not to close your eyes and take a good nap. The only bright (and moving) but very short scenes are when Holden and Hayward met together. Susan we miss you!

Just saw this movie on Saturday afternoon network TV. That's where this movie deserves to be. Rated it a 4 because the scenery is magnificent. Speaking of which...didn't the movie seem like a cheap knockoff of the Magnificent Seven? The movie borrowing a lot of ideas from other westerns (family gets wiped out and Good Guy's out for revenge), has-been Susan Hayward trying to look sexy and play it up in the going away scene, generally bad actors acting with generally bad dialog, actors that look like someone (thought Tarp was Nick Nolte and the lieutenant was David Soul) but really aren't anybody, a truly dead ending (just riding away after NOT shooting the bad guy and saying "Maybe I've got squigglies in my heart") leads me to say... why'd I give it a 4 again?

At first glance this would seem to be just another violent western of the same class as "The Wild Bunch". Look more deeply into the characters and you will find several interesting changes over the course of the movie. Each character shows a human and sometimes frail side that belies the hard person that they have become.
