      Audience Member One of Audi Murphy’s best absolutely good highly recommend it James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas October 28, 2023 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/28/23 Full Review StephenPaul C The greatest 01 hour: and 17 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Jack Arnold's "No name on the bullet" (1959) is an absolute gem, a true masterpiece that deserve complete recognition. With a budget of approximately $550.000, Jack Arnold created a wonderful western with a soul,much better than other westerns masterpieces like "High noon"(1951) or "Shane" (1952). This film should rank amongst the 5 best westerns ever made, next to "The searchers" (1956) or "Rio Bravo" (1959) and even amongst the 10 best films ever made. Audie Murphy is mesmerising as John Gant, the stranger from nowhere (the shooting title of the movie), with a reputation as a fast gun hired killer. Charles Drake,one of Audie Murphy's best friends, finds here his best role as Dr Luke Canfield, the only man Gant befriends. "No name on the bullet" is a both western and a thriller full of nail biting suspense till the last second of the movie, one of Jack Arnold's masterpieces and definitely Audie Murphy's best film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review aristidis m Was just okay, nothing brilliant. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member a good B western with interesting story and nice horses to. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Without a top-heavy cast, the story itself gains focus, and I think the story of No Name on the Bullet is fascinating. What happens when a notorious contract killer rides into town and...does absolutely nothing... Everyone dies--Audie Murphy had finally gotten a role where he could show his dark side... Instant karma's gonna get you!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
