      Alec B I am pleasantly surprised that the movie is coherent and it has a genuinely interesting perspective about vengeance. Obviously Brando directing means that no one can reign in his incoherent mumbling but just about everyone else gives a great performance. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/24 Full Review j F Excellent acting, gorgeous scenery, and unlike the classic western, which is a good thing! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/08/24 Full Review Brett B The Citizen Kane of westerns. Deep characters and scenery. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Good one right here. Yes I recommend it. James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas, January 11, 2023. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/12/23 Full Review MG J I enjoyed the movie because it was the only movie Marlon Brando directed. The acting was intense and we really saw some great actors working their craft. It was long though. But it was interesting watching someone who is considered the best actor ever free to do whatever he wanted. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/07/23 Full Review Logan M A gritty and influential western classic with great performances and intense action scenes. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Penelope Houston Sight & Sound The satisfactions of One Eyed Jacks lie in watching an artist of this calibre at work, the display of that quintessential actor's egotism which admits of no limits to what the player, merely through his presence, can communicate. Feb 11, 2020 Full Review Melissa Anderson Village Voice A strange, tumid, engrossing western ... Oct 13, 2016 Full Review Peter Sobczynski The Spool [It's] either an enormously ambitious but uneven work at worst, or one of the greatest Westerns ever filmed, as well as one of the most fascinating one-and-done directorial efforts in Hollywood history. Mar 31, 2021 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Brando brings Method moodiness to the standard Western protagonist. Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 20, 2021 Full Review Dwight MacDonald Esquire Magazine One-Eyed Jacks has some very handsome photography and some competent performances, but it isn't even a very good Western. Jul 30, 2019 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy Lumbering and bloated, often compelling, always gorgeous, and at times astonishingly bizarre. Rated: 6/10 Jul 26, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
