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. Go to Full Review Elizabeth Hardwick Vogue 06/20/2023
This is one of the most inept movies in memory. The dialogue is a buzz of clichés, the conception throughout vulgar and uninspired. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 02/22/2022

mark g @Mark_Alan_G. Jan 31 Rashomon attempt that fails miserably. Really poorly done. See more Jeff S @jeffstone 02/14/2024 Strange movie that folds together neatly in the end. See more Steve D 07/23/2023 A product of its time and not a good one. See more 12/21/2020 Great movie Love James Wong Howe cinematographer See more bill t @Spuzz 12/14/2019 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. See more Solomon M 05/19/2019 Akin to Sergio Leone's "A Fistful of Dollars" it is a great homage to Akira Kurosawa's "Rashomon". See more Read all reviews
