Watch The Missouri Breaks For Free

Excellent but underrated film

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Brando and Nicholson? Must be a great film. Guess again. Here is a western where Brando wears weird costumes (including old lady drag), and treats us to inane dialog and even a fart. Well he's Brando and can bore and insult us without consequences. Nicholson does an ordinary job with an unremarkable character. They should take lessons from Randy Quaid, who did the best acting.

This movie may initially seem slow and meandering.But it rewards the patient viewer.The scenery is spectacular.And the plot gradually,ever so gradually, veers from seemingly simplistic, corny humor into suddenly shocking, brutal horrific viokence.Lots of memorable plot twists and a very weird but exuberant performance by Markon Brando. nce.First off, the

A rancher, David Braxton, has a problem with horse thieves, and one especially - Tom Logan. Braxton hires a "regulator", Lee Clayton, to hunt down the horse thieves.Interesting movie. Gritty yet often poignant plot. Solid direction. Does take a while to get going though and has a few random twists and turns.Cast is very interesting in that it contains Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson (this movie is surely the answer to a trivia question, somewhere...). Brando hardly seems to be trying, yet gives a riveting, eccentric performance. Nicholson is great in his role. Solid supporting cast which includes Harry Dean Stanton, Randy Quaid and Kathleen Lloyd.

It might have been a good movie, but Hollywood's kowtowing to actors with recent success ensured that it soundly disappointed those who watched the movie. Marlon Brando's "eccentric" performance proves that as great and magnificent an actor as he was, he was equally as bad when he was not reined in by a director and script. Arthur Penn must bear a lot of the guilt for allowing Brando such a free hand in trashing the movie. I doubt that Marlon's antics went without negative comments and complaints from his fellow actors. Here he was given free rein and ruined what might have been a good movie. Nicholson, Lloyd, Quaid, Forrest, Stanton and other gave good performances, but they are inundated by Marlon Brando's absurdly bad "eccentric" performance. He wasn't eccentric, just BAD! If you skip this one, you will be ahead.
