At a disused railway station, three men -- a con artist (Edward G. Robinson), a preacher (William Shatner) and a prospector (Howard Da Silva) -- discuss the recent trial and sentencing of the outlaw Juan Carrasco (Paul Newman) for the murder of a man (Laurence Harvey) and the rape of his wife (Claire Bloom). In their recounting, the three explore the conflicting testimonies of the parties involved in the crimes. Disconcerting new questions arise with each different version of the event.

Newman as the violent and passionate killer plays his colorful character with a flourish and heavy accent... [Bloom] delivers strongly, turning glibly from drama to comedy.

This is one of the most inept movies in memory. The dialogue is a buzz of clichés, the conception throughout vulgar and uninspired.

Pretty much a "Why did this need to get remade?" movie. In this case, Rashomon is pretty much exactly remade, only this time it's a western. Some curious casting abound, from William Shatner as a priest, to Paul Newman as a mexican bandit (!!). All in all, pretty good, if you absolutely don't like watching classic Japanese movies.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Akin to Sergio Leone's "A Fistful of Dollars" it is a great homage to Akira Kurosawa's "Rashomon".

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
