Richard Brody New Yorker Offers a Hemingwayesque intensity of unspoken emotion and bitter wisdom, with a visually terse style to match. Aug 2, 2021 Full Review Fernando F. Croce Slant Magazine The effect is not one of (pre) post-modern nudging, but a questioning of the conventions through the director's humanizing gaze. Rated: 3.5/4 Dec 24, 2005 Full Review Michael Barrett PopMatters All his films are over before the 80-minute mark, sometimes before 75, and that’s something of a lost art... Sep 13, 2023 Full Review André Bazin Cahiers du Cinéma [Seven Men From Now] is perhaps the best Western I have seen since the war. It is only the memory of The Naked Spur and The Searchers that makes me reticent. Feb 1, 2021 Full Review Michael E. Grost Classic Film and Television Classic Western that is one of the high water marks of the American cinema. Aug 10, 2011 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid It deserves to be viewed, as one of the greatest Westerns -- possibly one of the greatest films -- ever made. Jan 21, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Another good one right here that I will highly recommend James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas, June 2, 2023 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Surprisingly good and unpredictable. All the lead characters have three dimensions, with Masters (Lee Marvin) being unusually complicated for a 1950's Hollywood outlaw. Sad about Gail Russell, though. The ravages of alcohol aged her prematurely. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Spare, and relentless. Everything a vengeance story set in that world known as the mythical movie "West" should be. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member An excellent western. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the great Westerns and classics With enough edge grit and difference To be lesser known And terrific And one of the best of the great Lee Marvin roles Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member He was fixing to cut you down. An aging former sheriff has a significant guilt streak for a string of events in his former town that led to the death of his wife. He is now tracking down the men responsible and is on his way to find them when he comes across some settlers heading the same direction. He agrees to ride with them to keep them safe. As they discover more and more of his story, they try to talk him into being at peace with himself first. Will they convince the sheriff he's a good man either way, whether he gets revenge or not? "Sure is a wild country. I like wild things." Budd Boetticher, director of The Tall T, Ride Lonesome, Comanche Station, A Time for Dying, Decision at Sundown, The Killer is Loose, and City Beneath the Sea, delivers Seven Men from Now. The storyline for this picture is interesting and has a classic western feel to it. The acting is very good and the cast includes Randolph Scott, Gail Russell, Lee Marvin, and Don Barry. "They ever catch up to the fellas that done it?" I came across this a long time ago via Fios recommendations and decided to give it a viewing finally. This is a classic western with interesting characters and well portrayed character development. I really enjoyed how this was put together. I recommend this to fans of the western genre. "I'd feel a whole lot better if you rode along with us." Grade: B-/B Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
