Aimed directly at a mainstream audience, The Patriot qualifies as respectable entertainment, but anyone expecting a definitive drama about the American Revolution should look elsewhere. Rising above the blatant crowd pleasing of Stargate, Independence Day, and Godzilla, director Roland Emmerich crafts a marvelous re-creation of South Carolina in the late 1770s (aided immeasurably by cinematographer Caleb Deschanel), and Robert Rodat's screenplay offers the same balance of epic scale and emotional urgency that elevated his earlier script for Saving Private Ryan. Unfortunately, Emmerich embraces clichés and hackneyed melodrama that a more gifted director would have avoided. Instead of attempting a truly great film about the most pivotal years of American history, Emmerich settles for a standard revenge plot with the Revolutionary War as an incidental backdrop.

On those terms, the film is engrossing and sufficiently intelligent, especially when militia leader Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) cagily negotiates with British General Cornwallis (Tom Wilkinson) in one of the most rewarding scenes. For the most part, the story concerns Martin's anguished quest for revenge against ruthless redcoat Colonel Tavington (played with snide relish by Jason Isaacs), and the rise to manhood of Martin's eldest son, Gabriel (Heath Ledger), whose battlefield honor exceeds even that of his brutally volatile father. At its best, The Patriot conveys the horror of war among innocent civilians, and the epic battle scenes, while by no means masterful, are graphically intense and impressive. And although Ledger's love interest (Lisa Brenner) is too bland to register much emotion, the focus on family (which frequently relegates the war to background history) provides a suitable vehicle for Gibson, who matches his achievement in Braveheart with an effectively brooding performance. --Jeff Shannon

Product Description

In 1776 South Carolina, widower and legendary war hero Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) finds himself thrust into the midst of the American Revolutionary War as he helplessly watches his family torn apart by the savage forces of the British Redcoats. Unable to remain silent, he recruits a band of reluctant volunteers, including his idealistic patriot son, Gabriel (Heath Ledger), to take up arms against the British. Fighting to protect his family's freedom and his country's independence, Martin discovers the pain of betrayal, the redemption of revenge and the passion of love.

MASTERS OF PROPAGANDA..........2007-04-30

Patriot brings to the screen a fictitious story from the American Revolution, or else the director and his sponsors' version of what they would like the people to believe as historical fact.
A quiet farmer and veteran of the French and Indian Wars is "forced" into partaking in the American Revolution on the side of the Continentals as a result of a sadistic British Colonel...
The good things first:
1) The cast, the setting, the battle scenes, and the costumes are all very good.
2) The film does show (though sparsely) the pivotal role that France played during the War, without whom the Continentals would have been defeated.
3) The Tomahawk trophy off a fallen Indian warrior (subtly) insinuating the ghastly relations between colonists and the natives i.e. the traditional hatred between the lower class North American colonists and the Indians (not a surprise considering the content of the Declaration of Independence: "the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions").
On the negative side now:
1) It's a biased, one-sided approach to a major historical event which one would think by now would be able to be presented in an objective manner. It's the same old/usual cliches involving one of Hollywood's favorite villains/scapegoats: the British (it must have been really difficult to include Germans, Serbs or Russians in this one...).
For starters, misusing the term Patriot in referring to Englishmen who betrayed their government, their country, and their flag, is reminiscent of the Soviet Union and how they christened their ultimate tool (newspaper) of propaganda Pravda, or "Truth."
Similarly, the British Colonel asked the Loyalist how he could betray his neighbors and not the other way around.
2) From the beginning, the setting is South Carolina and all that is heard throughout the film is either a British or a Northern (Yankee) accent!
3) South Carolina was home to most of the 13 colonies' Loyalists, even to the point of outnumbering the Continentals, yet all we saw was but a few.
4) At the time when the S.C. Assembly voted in favor of secession not a single Red Coat or a single Loyalist were in the vicinity! Not a single shot was fired...
5) There is no clarification that taxes set by the British Government are taxes set by King and Parliament, not King George III alone.
6) Throughout the film the Continentals are presented in good light while the Red Coats are demonized. Oh, I forgot; the British have to be the baddies while the Continentals are the heroes... Have mercy on us, please!
7) The movie does not really portray the double-crossing merchants, farmers, and politicians that supported whichever side the wind happened to be blowing in, always in search of profit and personal gain. Nor does it show the clash within the Continental side (the undermining, the personality clashes, favoritism, public relations, political connections), between Congress and the Army, as well as the farmers and most importantly the merchants profiteering at the expense of whoever/whichever side etc.
8) Martin's slaves were not slaves; they were "free men" working of their own will...
9) Does not show what the Continentals did to the Loyalists during and after the Revolution.
10) Blacks and Whites fighting together against the British was simply absurd for that era. What's more, the British policy, which was indeed to free the slaves from the colonists, is ridiculed in the movie...
In short, the film does a good job, as it should do, in presenting a case study on the use of propaganda on unaware people and the danger it poses.
If the American Revolution is what you had in mind, check out the AMAZING films Revolution starring Al Pacino and Donald Sutherland, and Benedict Arnold: A Question of Honor starring Aidan Quinn and Kelsey Grammer.
In conclusion, the potential for a great movie was there. A shame really... 2 Stars

if you can muscle your way through the historical blunders you got a good movie.......2007-04-27

a very good movie about the creation of america.but the following are big blunders that make it not perfect.1. all of the men look away while firing ,this although was tought up to a piont,near the end of the war this was given up.2. the battle of the cowpens is very unaccurate such as the fact that no french took part in the battle(but its only based on the cowpens any way).3. all men march shoulder to shoulder , this was NOT tought by any side that late in the war.plus many other small things.overall its good put not accurate

Braveheart Redone.......2007-03-22

Yes, it was. Braveheart taken to a different century and country. Otherwise, it's pretty much the same movie. -Shrugs.- I think Mel has something against the English.

Oddly enough, the best part of this movie was the English, vilified character of Colonel William Tavington, played by one of my top two actors, Jason Isaacs. Isaacs has always been a phenomenal actor, and this time, I think, he saved this movie from flopping.

The coolest thing about this movie was Tavington's Green Dragoons... or was it his long silky brown hair... or was it his accent? Hmm. It's a little of everything, I think.

Anyway. Great movie for the sake of seeing Isaacs in another awesome role.
Gibson? Not so much. See Braveheart.

seen it many times.......2007-03-07

I've seen this movie enough times to know that i won't get tired of it easily. it's brutal enough to hold my attention during the fighting scenes while the rest of the storyline's plot doesn't let you go during the down time. I don't know and don't care if this movie was based on factual or fictional characters, so whether it is historically accurate is the last thing on my list of worries.
What i did like was how the protagonist maintained a reluctant stance until given no other choice. it felt real, and the reactions of all the other characters felt real as well; they didn't feel scripted. That is about the only concern i have with most of these past war movies and that's something i flushed away as soon as i started watching it the first time. one of my top movies of all time.

Bravo!.......2007-03-04

Love this film, it makes you laugh, cry and feel a lot of other emotions when viewing. Great performances by Heath Ledger and Mel Gibson. Beautiful countrysides are shown with epic battle scenes that test every man's last breath to truly fight for what they believe in. Fantastic and I give it five stars, it never loses value in repeated viewings for us.

A moving and inspiring story of redemption and personal triumph in the face of great odds, Jet Li's Fearless is the based-on-facts story of Chinese folk hero Huo Yuanjia (Jet Li). The son of a martial-arts master whose greatest strength was his restraint, Huo grows into an unbeatable fighter whose pride and thoughtlessness lead to a chain of tragic losses. After a classic wanderer-in-the-wilderness penance, Huo reinvents himself as a mature instructor of Wushu, a martial arts system that embraces all forms of fighting without preference or pre-judgement. He also becomes a populist symbol, at the dawn of the 20th century, of China's refusal to entirely capitulate to the boot of Western colonialists. Taking on whatever European, American, or Japanese fighter the outsiders bring in to demoralize the natives, Huo becomes a legend that, in real life, is still revered. Thrillingly directed by Ronny Yu (Warriors of Virtue), Jet Li's Fearless is a dazzling action movie that transcends its breathless fight sequences with Huo's sportsmanship virtues, i.e., knowing when you've won by example, rather than by the fist. Jet Li is superb in the role. --Tom Keogh

Breathless.......2007-07-04

Jet Li's 'Fearless' has all the best aspects you'd want from an Asian movie: combat with stunning movies that shuffle the deck, ancient, wise lessons, and exquisite beauty that lingers on like a butterfly. 'Fearless' does all of this and more. The film focuses on a likable protagonist, Hao Yuanjita (Li) who is at the top of his "wushi" discipline, and so successful is he that everyone in town wants to be his apprentice.

The movie takes place at the turn of the last century during the Qing Dynasty. In most scenes the buildings have ancient beauty that is framed by the picturesque horizons, so it is easy to watch. Every opponent who challenges Hao is introduced and brings a different sort of menace to the stage where a large audience gathers. For big, burly Master Chin there's sparring over a coffin for a nice effect. The tension each new challenger Hao must hurdle is given time to build up, especially at the local restaurant where Hao is keen on buying rounds (and gathering debts) of wine for everyone.

There are wisely times for recuperation--for the hero and for the audience. Lessons about honor, respect, revenge, discipline, and humility are given Confucian treatment, so we care about what happens to all the characters. Time outs for tea and planting rice maintain a properly restful mood for Hao and the observer.

Exciting and absorbing, 'Fearless' leaves its audience breathless.

A Stunning Martial Arts Film that gets the Adrenaline Pumping!.......2007-06-27

Okay, lets get one thing straight first: this is not Jet Li's last Martial arts epic. The trailers were wrong about that and confused alot of people. This is Jet Li's last period Wu Shu film. As many already know, Li is currently working with Jackie Chan on the film the Forbidden Kingdom, in which it is already a fact that they will fight together.

So, now that we have that straightend out, let me tell you my opinion about Fearless.
Jet Li plays Huo Yuanjia, a Chinese Martial Arts Master who is the founder of the Jin Wu Sports Federation and who fought at a tournament to protect the Chinese honour. The way he portrays this interesting character is very energetic and lively. Not just in the fighting, but also in the dialouge scenes. At first it seems a bit unrealistic, but I got used to this style of acting very quickly and only found it very watchable and nice to see. Li shows that Huo Yuanjia was also a normal human being who enjoyed life and had certain issues and does this well.
The film starts very energeticly and shows you one fight after the other, with only some short breaks in between. The movie goes on like this for the whole first hour, which gives alot of excitement and gets the adrenaline pumping for sure for Martial arts and action fans. Then after a dramatic switch in the story, the character leaves his world to the countryside were he stays for a long time. This time is about twenty minutes in the movie were there is no fighting at all. I found this a beautiful and peaceful contrast with the first part of the movie and liked this silence moment. Still, alot of other people don't like this "break". It takes away the tempo of the film for that moment, at what I agree, but definitely returns to a stunning final. Either you like this break, like I did, or you find it slow and boring. But I assure you that the scenery is absolutely wonderful in this quiet moment in a storm.
Looking at the sets and atmosphere of the film I can only come to one conclusion: the sets are magnificent and even though you can sometimes see that the computer effects have helped here and there a bit, it gives the film a stunning look. And the scenes that take place on the countryside gives the film a beautiful and almost spiritual atmosphere. The sets are large and beautifully made and they help you to get into the story and feel the atmosphere.
Looking at the action, the film is definitely strong as it gives, like some critics said, "bonecrushing action!" It is fastpaced, well shot and shows Li at his best. The only little thing I didn't like at the fights is that even though the editing is fantastic, that at some shots they cut away a single shot out of a movement. This give the movement a certain look. For example, someone falls down to the ground. One second you see him flying through the air, the next second you see him on the ground (still in the same camera-angle), and a part of his falling down has been cut out. Their are only a few small ones of those editing moments, and they overall don't bother you, so don't worry: The fighting is magnificent.

So an energetic and powerful Jet Li in a stunning motion picture that is a must see for martial arts and Jet Li fans. But also for people who want their adrenaline pumping and for who wants to sit on the edge of their seats.

Good piece of fiction.......2007-06-10

While this movie is about Huo Yuanjia, it isn't a true story. Did he exist? Yes. Did he found the Chin Woo Association? Yes. Did he compete in a series of fights for the honor of China? Yes.

That is where the truth ends. He was not someone who looked for a fight every chance he got, nor was he a spoiled rich kid. The movie states that he had one daughter and she was killed in revenge by his rival's nephew.

It depicts him as never remarrying or having any children when he died. Not so, that is why Huo's grandchildren are so upset at this films production. A far as this film is concerned they don't exist.

The film is well done and script was well written, just wish they hadn't removed the seen where he saved the child from being punished for trying to steal the cow. Choreography was top notch.

I would have given it a higher rating if not for the lack of truth about Hou Yuanjia's character before the challenge matches and his family or in the case of the film, lack thereof.

This isn't Jet Li's final martial arts film, but it is his last martial epic. He just will no longer be doing this type of movie.

Jet Li martial arts vehicle.......2007-05-12

"Fearless" a film featuring the stunning martial arts skills of the incomperable Jet Li also has a compelling historical story line. Li plays Huo Yuanjia, the most famous Chinese martial arts master at the turn of the 20th century. In a 1910 tournament in Shanghai, Huo fought against the best fighters representing countries who were carving up Chinese territory during the age of colonialism, restoring national pride.

The film directed by Ronny Yu is a flashback chronicling the life of Huo who was the asthmatic son of a Tianjin martial arts master. Years of practice established him as the best fighter in his region. When a blood feud with a rival master turned deadly killing his family in an act of revenge, Li flees wandering aimlessly through the rural countryside.

He is restored by the affections of blind country girl Moon played by Betty Sun and her grandmother. Purified in his beliefs he returns to Tianjin and teams with lifelong friend Nong Jinsun played by Yong Dong to form the prestigious Jin Wu Sports Federation.

Jet Li's skills are rivaled only by the legendary Bruce Lee. If "Fearless" is truly Li's last martial arts film then that is a sad loss for all viewers.

CLUELESS.......2007-05-12

ZZZZZZZZZZZZ What can I say? Been there done that... This movie reminds me of "Once Upon A Time In China 1,2,and 3". I just wasn't feeling this movie at all. When it was over, my son and I looked at eachother, and shook our heads in disjust; that's the God's honest truth.
I bought this movie based on everyone else's high praise for it, and I feel jipped. I will say this...the fighting scenes were okay, but all the melodramatic talking and the blind woman who helped show him the "light" just negated all the good fighting. Don't waste your time or money on this movie.

In Road to Perdition, Tom Hanks plays a hit man who finds his heart. Michael Sullivan (Hanks) is the right-hand man of crime boss John Rooney (Paul Newman), but when Sullivan's son accidentally witnesses one of his hits, he must choose between his crime family and his real one. The movie has a slow pace, largely because director Sam Mendes (American Beauty) seems to be in love with the gorgeous period locations. Hanks gives a deceptively battened-down performance at first, only opening up toward the very end of the film, making his character's personal transformation all the more convincing. Newman turns in a masterful piece of work, revealing Rooney's advancing age but at the same time, his terrifying power. Jude Law is also a standout, playing a hit man-photographer with chilling creepiness. This movie requires a little patience, but the beautiful cinematography and moving ending make it well worth the wait. --Ali Davis

predictable plot line, bad script.......2007-05-26

That this script came from a graphic novel is extremely obvious. It was a bad graphic novel and a mediocre movie. I like watching Tom Hanks and I had a hard time making it through watching all of this movie. If I hadn't been avoiding chores I would have canned it about half way through.

First major complaint, the plot runs to basically the same thing as in Sin City's "killing my way to the truth". As if it isn't obvious to any moron paying any attention who is cheating who.

Second major complaint for a hit man, he is a rotten killer when it really, really counts. Like when they come after him. He finishes everyone else off with an extra burst from his Thompson submachine gun, why not this guy?

Third major complaint, for a hit man, he's way too trusting. He must know that once made, the only way out is to disappear. And so he doesn't.

I liked the cimatronics, the camera angles, although the pauses in the dialog look just like panels in a graphic novel. Blech.

Tom Hanks is capable of way better stuff than this. My only laugh was that I was imagining a slight time warp and that Mike Sullivan was the war hero from "Saving Private Ryan".

Well this will soon fade into the cinematic dust bin. And none too soon.

tom hanks descends into hell -- not to mention bad movies.......2007-05-12

the hype when this was released had this as one of the big movies of the year, but for once the public caught on and this silly thing has disappeared from consciousness. tom hanks continues the downward arc of his career, and paul newman is utterly unconvincing as the patriarch of a crime organization. what pretends to be a metaphor for the american family is little more than a 2 hour yawnfest; watch "the godfather" for the 27th time instead.

A classic.......2007-04-14

Truly a great movie. Perfectly cast but the best one of all may be Tyler Hoechlin. He gave the best performance by a child actor that I ever saw. Right up there with Tatum O'Neal in Paper Moon. My favorite Tom Hanks movie will always be Forrest Gump but this is a close second.

EXCELLENT MOVIE HANKS SURE CAN PICK 'EM!.......2007-04-10

One of the many Tom Hanks films that is just excellent! Hanks plays a hit man (which I would not have believed he could pull off!) out for vengence and trying to keep his kid on the right track. A truely great engrossing film!

Average Crime Comic Book Flick.......2007-03-20

Road to Perdition is a pretty stiff flick. It aspires to be an art house picture complete with pretentious cinematography. It features a criminal father who tries to teach his son all the usual important life lessons that so many movies also teach.

Road to Perdition is based on a "graphic novel" that is synonymous for a comic book that is expensive, long, pretentious and done in black and white. This particular work purports to be based on real people, but in reality, the only things real about it is the names of the characters and the names of the places that it is set in. Otherwise, both the original graphic novel and the movie that is based on it have zero connection to real history.

Road to Perdition has the kind of illogical plotting, numerous murders, lack of real women, goofy psychology and a general lack of insight that so many other Hollywood crime flicks have. Basically, this movie is an exercise in absurdity.

For instance, in order to get a shot at the man who murdered most of his family, the killer hero (Tom Hanks) decides to try to force the Chicago mob of Al Capone to release the man by stealing from Capone. In real life, Al Capone always struck back at those who stole from him. He never negotiated with those who sought to torment him. The real Capone would have made short work of Hanks's character.

There are other unrealistic elements to Road to Perdition. Real life gang killers are a hard drinking, hard living lot who beat their women and pay cold shrift to their children. Tom Hanks's killer is a quiet, solemn man who is a devoted family man. A real life serial killer would never, ever apologize to his nine year old son for missing his school concert. Also, Jude Law's killer reporter character who kills people and then takes their photographs and sells them to newspapers is a villain who much better would fit in a Batman type movie than in the oh so realistic Road to Perdition.

All in all, Road to Perdition is just another Hollywood crime flick.

C.I.A. agent, Billy Brown brings his wife home to meet his absurdly dysfunctional family. Only Billy's not really in the C.I.A., and his "wife," Layla is actually a young tap dancer he just kidnapped to impress his ridiculous and unloving parents. In reality, Billy's whole life is an empty lie. He's fresh out of prison and now on a deadly mission to hunt down and kill the Buffalo Bills kicker whose botched field goal he believes ruined his life. However, Billy's new hostage may ruin everything. Their crazy attachment blossoms into a desperate and oddly beautiful romance that may or may not be a sweet enough substitute for revenge. Vincent Gallo composed and performed the original music and also wrote, directed and stars in the film that The New York Times calls a "deadpan original."

A tortered soul.......2007-06-30

This movie was an odd and interesting one. It is a story of a man that is incarcerated for a crime of not paying his bookie and then planning his revenge on the football player that lost the superbowl in prison. He is released from prison and it is the next 24 hours after his release is what the movie consists of. He kidnaps a girl, sees his dysfunctional mother and father, talks to his "slow" friend, goes bowling and then gets a motel room with the girl across from the strip club that the football player owns. The reason that I am giving this movie 5 stars is for the acting and the story of a "deteriating mind" of the main character and return back to reality and what he really has. I do highly recommend this movie to anyone that likes the "down hill and up hill climbs" of humanity.

Or,to put it into language that even YOU can understand: I would really, really like my 110 minutes back. I would really, really like my 110 minutes back. I would really, really like my 110 minutes back. I would really, really like my 110 minutes back. I would really, really like my 110 minutes back. I would really, really like my 110 minutes back.

Thanks in advance.

PS - This is the absolute worst movie that I have ever had the misfortune to sit through. Plotless, artless, meandering, purely ego driven, art school drop out drivel. Avoid this train wreck like the plague.

Dark, but good........2007-03-13

This was a very strange movie which featured Vincent Gallo as Billy Brown. He is released from jail as the movie opens and then we go on a pretty wild ride as he kidnaps a girl who he needs to pose as his wife when he goes to visit his mother before his later plans to find the Buffalo Bills kicker and shoot him. Billy has no direction and he plans to take no responsibility for what happens after this night, until the woman he kidnapped says that she has fallen in love with him. I know what you are thinking, but no, this was not a Disney movie.

In my research on the film, many people seem to focus their reviews on how well Gallo captured the essence of life in Buffalo. I have never been to Buffalo, so I will have to find some other angle.

My story is a strange one. I came by this movie through a conversation that went something like this:

"...What about Mickey Rourke, do you like him?"
"Well, I can't say that I have seen him in much that I remember. I thought he was good in Sin City."
"Wow. Come on, he's great. Ummm...have you ever seen Buffalo '66?"
"No."
"Do it."

And so I did. And as The Bookie, Mickey Rourke has about 60 seconds of on-screen time. And while I agree that he was awesome for that one minute, I will have to find yet another angle.

I guess my focus will be on Vincent Gallo, which is mildly appropriate since he wrote, directed, starred in and composed (at least some of) the music for this movie. I thought he was brilliant in this role as he was held captive inside such a tormented mind. There were some incredibly deeply rooted problems from Billy's past to which were became privy one-by-one. At each confrontation with his parents a short flash-back clip is inserted to show us what happened and essentially how neglected Billy went as a child (I really enjoyed how this was done). He yells at everyone because that is the only way he saw his parents interact, with each other or with him. At the beginning of the movie Billy is a hollow soul full of anger and slowly over the course of the movie the perfect depth is added to his character. And while it doesn't make for the most heart-warming love story, it was somewhat endearing to see that Billy kidnapped the only person who may be crazier than he is.

We are given no indication about who Layla is; she was forcefully removed from her tap dancing class against her will by a man with whom she falls in love over a very short period of time. From what we know all they have is each other, but maybe that is enough for them to be happy.

Buffalo '66 is a movie I recommend, but not to everyone. If you are a student of film, either professionally or recreationally, I believe there was some impressive writing, organization and direction. This is also the type of movie I would recommend to my brother, but add the caveat that perhaps he should watch it one night when his wife has something else to do. There is very little harsh language, but there is a very negative cloud that hangs over this movie making it not attractive the optimists in the audience.

Gallo Rocks.......2006-10-20

Brilliant, oddball indie film. Gallo adds touches of stylistic beauty to this dark story of a young man released from prison who goes home to visit his parents. During this visit Ben Gazzara lip-synchs to a "Nelson Riddle arrangement" in his bedroom. Later Christina Ricci does a weirdly beautiful tap dance under a soft spotlight at the bowling alley. BUFFALO 66 is a bit like another indie small masterpiece, TREES LOUNGE (which Steve Buscemi worte and directed) in that both films capture the dreary, quitodian rhythm of everyday smalltown living, but perfectly so (and both movies are impecabbly acted with stellar casts). The brilliance of BUFFALO 66 makes BROWN BUNNY, Gallo's latest film, even more disappointing. I, for one, am waiting for Gallo to return to form with his next film, if it is indeed coming...

I liked it.......2006-09-21

This is a good movie to watch when it's 3 AM and you can't sleep. It's thoroughly entertaining, I wish there were more movies like it.

What Great Movie Kuffs........2007-02-13

I forgot how funny this movie is kinda of a ferris bueller/fletch comedy thriller keep you on the edge of your seat while laughing too what a great movie. supporting cast is wonderful in this film you'll just love it.

It's PG-13 For Lauguage , Action Violence.

Time travel back to the early to mid 1980's.......2007-01-04

Now exceeding 20 years, this 1980's movie may attract
viewers on account of the big-name actress Ashley Judd in
it, although in reality she's shown for less than 90
seconds in the entire movie, and this in an action
sequence, showing a paint shop getting drilled with
machine gun fire. In that respect, KUFFS will be a major
disappointment for those expecting Judd to be at the
center stage.

In reality, the protagonist is the Jack Nicholson wannabe
or hopeful of the time, Christian Slater as well as the
city of San Francisco. Much like the other movie, also in
San Francisco, (TWISTED with Ashley Judd), that city is
prominently shown in various aspects, namely the world
reknowned bridge, and some surroundings of the area,
parks, hills, etc.

The story is not entirely serious, which is a benefit,
considering most people going to the movies want to relax,
so in this sense, the picture is successful, if not for
the not tasteless but redundant nudity involving Slater
and the lovely and young Milla Jovovich, playing his girlfriend.

The movie, from a visual point of view, works extremely
well, with many varied, sharp,colored and interesting
streets, buildings and filming locations chosen. Anyone
not having done tourism in that city or area will benefit,
much like that which is the case in another movie, showing
Raleigh, NC, "Kiss the Girls" with Morgan Freeman, for example.

There is a focus on the clothes people wear, obviously, as
the characters seem to only wear pastel-colored items that many
for some were trendy at the time, as made clear from other
movies, such as Miami Vice, also from the 80's, for example.
Ironically, in the opening sequence, the bad guy has his mug
shot stenciled onto his pastel T-Shirt, yet is covering his
face with a scarf, to avoid being later recognized. How
his victims would fail to remember to police the image seen on his
T-Shirt, to track him down, is less understood.

The weak spot, clearly, is the music, as it is had considerably
aged and seems considerably unsophisticated. In reality, the music may
or may not be a liability, considering often there's a
discrepancy in tastes and musical experience among the
audience, regardless of age, who themselves are very differnet
from one another.

A a recurring jingle is obviously inspired from the one heard
on Beverly Hills Cop, a big commercial success at about the
same year KUFFS was released.

Overall, KUFFS completely wasted Judd's acting talents, as
only 90 seconds were shown. On the other hand, for those
wanting a light-hearted time travel back to the early to
mid 1980's this is not a bad place to start.

Kuffs.......2006-01-15

This is a great Mid 90s movie.

Sadly Overlooked Action Adventure Comedy.......2005-01-16

Christian Slater's character reminds me of a young Jack Nicholson, who replaces his brother on the Police Force after he is murdered. I was surprised that he didn't become as popular as Tom Cruise after this film was released in 1992, but he had a few personal issues during the 90s that stalled his career. I think he's a better actor than most people realize, with much more talent than making below average movies like "Broken Arrow".

7 out of 10.......2004-08-18

Kuffs is a highly enjoyable Christian Slater film. Great narration. Very quirky ideas. Clever at a lot of times. Great acting by Christian Slater. There is a certain "Johnny Depp" quality about Christian Slater when I saw this film. He pulled it off great. Great comedy. Very good lessons taught here also. Consider the film as a smart comedy about being stupid but lucky. A couple highest points in this film were the gunshot wound lesson and the subtitles while being duct taped. There are other great moments. It is very unpredictable and fun movie to watch. This movie has solidified me as a great Christian Slater fan. Although it was made in 1992, I find it hard to believe that I haven't seen films like this. That is amazing. This kind of thing just tells me that Hollywood is releasing the wrong kinds of films. Kudos to Bruce Evans for witty direction.

Amazon.com

Only John Ford excelled Anthony Mann as a purveyor of eye-filling Western imagery, and Mann's best films are second to no one's when it comes to the fusion of dynamic action, rugged landscapes, and fierce psychological intensity. The Man from Laramie is the last of five remarkable Westerns the director made with James Stewart (starting with Winchester '73 and peaking with The Naked Spur). This collaboration marked virtually a whole new career for Stewart, whose characters are all haunted by the past and driven by obsession--here, to find whoever set his cavalry-officer brother in the path of warlike Indians.

The Man from Laramie aspires to an epic grandeur beyond its predecessors. It's the only one in CinemaScope, and Stewart's personal quest is subsumed in a larger drama--nothing less than a sagebrush version of King Lear, with a range baron on the verge of blindness (Donald Crisp), his weak and therefore vicious son (Alex Nicol), and another, apparently more solid "son," his Edmund-like foreman (Arthur Kennedy). There are a few too many subsidiary characters, and the reach for thematic complexity occasionally diminishes the impact. But no one will ever forget the scene on the salt flats between Nicol and Stewart--climaxing in the single most shocking act of violence in '50s cinema--or the final, mountaintop confrontation.

For decades, the film has been seen only in washed-out, pan-and-scan videos, with the characters playing visual hopscotch from one panel of the original composition to another. It's great to have this glorious DVD--razor-sharp, fully saturated (or as saturated as '50s Eastmancolor could be), and breathtaking in its CinemaScope sweep. --Richard T. Jameson

Usual great stuff from Mann and Stewart.......2006-11-21

Director Anthony Mann and star James Stewart made a great combination. I always found their westerns together reached a part of me that other westerns didn't reach. Along with Bend of the River, Winchester '73 etc, this is top-notch stuff, not necessarily heavy on action, but with a lot of heart.

The rest of a really great cast includes Donald Crisp, Arthur Kennedy and Aline MacMahon.

A tale of anguish and vengeance..........2006-11-08

Some of the best Westerns of the fifties were those directed by Anthony Mann and John Ford, straightforward and unpretentious, but each with an interesting approach to the requirements of the genre... Mann's films were the more prestigious, usually featuring James Stewart who, with John Wayne, was the fifties' biggest box-office draw... "The Man From Laramie" best known because of the Frankie Laine theme strong which accompanied it, is notable for (among other things) Alex Nicol's extraordinary projection of sadism, an element which dominated the best of Mann's movies... The motion picture was to be the last of the Mann-Stewart Westerns...

Stewart is cast as a wagon handler from Laramie, Wyoming, but is, really, an army officer out to avenge the death of his younger brother, a U.S. Cavalryman, massacred by the Apaches who were buying guns from unknown persons... It is these persons that Stewart is looking for..

Soon Stewart gets involved in an area of New Mexico which is ruled by the iron hand of a cattle baron Donald Crisp, a strong authoritarian "who can't live with a lie"... Crisp's one weakness is his love and care for his spoiled son, Alex Nicol...

Wild but feeble, yet vicious, Nicol - with extraordinary projection of sadism - accosts Stewart in several confrontations in which (among other outrages) Stewart is dragged through fire by horses, and has his hand held tight while Alex puts a bullet through it... Mann proceeds in this mood throughout the movie, growing even more sadistic...

Arthur Kennedy, a hard-working heavy, plays the adopted son of Crisp... He is a son in disguise, jealous of Alex, pretending to be his brother's ally and protector...

A lot of good supporting actors are cast including Cathy O'Donnell, the fragile beauty who has little to do but await patiently for an opportunity; Aline MacMahon, the fine 'ugly' woman who never leaves the old man, and Jack Elam who tries to knife James Stewart in the back...

Anthony Mann adopted an altogether tougher approach to Western mythology than John Ford... His obsessive, neurotic characters and his emphasis on violence foretell the work of Peckinpah, Leone and Eastwood...

Filmed in Technicolor, "The Man From Laramie" is a Western with new touches of brutality touching off the wide screen spectacle...

Powerful western.......2006-09-02

This ambitious western concerns a corrupt landowning family (the Waggomans) who finally disintegrate when an outsider, Will Lockhart (James Stewart in his best role for Mann), is drawn into its closed world.

Mann's dramatic presentation, here as in most of his 50s westerns, is Shakesperian in its power and intensity. Mann's widescreen compositions of the 50s are among the best uses of that then fresh format when people were still exploring its possibilities. His landscapes create a superbly configured canvas against which the conflicts are played out.

Donald Crisp is the family patriarch (going blind in more than just a physical sense) who is preoccupied with dynastic succession. His natural son (Alex Nicol) is a psychopath who, early in the film, overturns and brutally burns Stewart's trading wagons, shoots his mules and has him roped and dragged through the dirt, all in a pitiful bid to assert his authority in front of his men. In a later incident, he shoots Stewart's hand at point blank range, as if castrating him (a violent and potent sequence). Crisp's foreman and surrogate son (Arthur Kennedy in a fine performance) feigns worthiness but plots to usurp the succession and betray his father-surrogate.

Stewart as catalyst and protagonist, fulfils his own quest for justice and revenge with an obsession/pathology bordering on madness. Strong stuff!

Solid Stewart western.......2005-09-12

The collaboration of director Anthony Mann and the righteous Jimmy Stewart again provided the ingredients for a successful movie. Filmed against the sprawling picturesque terrain of New Mexico, the movie tells the tale of Will Lockhart, a loner and ex-Army man who is now delivering freight via wagon train.

He winds up in the town of Coronado on the border of Apache territory, in part looking for the party responsible for the death of his younger brother. He was killed in an Apache massacre with rifles illegally supplied to them by an unknown arms dealer.

The town is under control of Alec Waggoman, a cattle baron played by Donald Crisp. Stewart soon runs afoul of Crisp's ill tempered son Dave played by Alex Nichol coming into conflict with the family who own the huge Barb ranch. Ranch foreman and filial figure to Crisp, Arthur Kennedy playing Vic Hansbro, is also the guardian of Nichol, keeping him out of harms way.

Stewart manages to upset the Waggoman family dynamic as he pursues the answers to his brothers death as well as trying to keep the Apaches at bay. With help from two local women the elderly Aline MacMahon playing tough rancher Kate Canady and Cathy O'Donnell playing Crisp's niece Barbara, Stewart eventually gains the trust of Crisp.

man from nowhere.......2005-06-18

Lochart (James Stewart) was told that the salt was free for the taking But then he was caught stealing the salt by the son of the cattle baron who actually owend the land and most of that town,so the son wanted to teach Lochart a lesson in front of his sidekicks that how tough he is,so he burned the wagons and shot his mules.But the baron when found out wants to compromise with Lochart as he saw in his vision that a man will come one day and kill his no good and only son,but (JIMMY STEWART ) SAYS I NEVER OWENED AN ACRE OF LAND -NEVER WANTED TO AND YOU COULD'NT LIVE WITH AN ACRE LESS THAN YOU GOT-WHERE DO WE BEND. jimmy stewart gave a very powerful performance in this movie "again" as always.I cant forget and i still remember the scene where jimmy stewart was pinned down by few and the barons son shoots him in the palm of his gun hand.A very memorable movie which leaves the lasting impression on the viewers. The credit goes to the people who made this movie bringing it to big screen the struggle, hardship and tough life earlier pioneers faced to shape United States what it is today and for todays generations to injoy and live a better life.legacy of western movies must continue.It is a lesson in History and a way of life.

Not a sequel, per se, to the 2004 feature Walking Tall with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (which in itself was only loosely based on the real-life story of Southern lawman Buford Pusser), this by-the-books actioner stars Kevin Sorbo (Hercules: The Legendary Journeys) as another taciturn tough guy who faces down small-town corruption with determination and a very big stick. Sorbo plays a former elite soldier who returns to his small Texas hometown to discover that his sheriff father has been murdered by a cadre of nefarious types (led by tattooed heel A.J. Buckley), and with the help of a comely FBI agent (Yvette Nipar), he takes up his father's badge and takes on the bad guy with a particularly large piece of hickory as his main weapon. Sorbo is a likely action star, though he lacks the charm of The Rock (or the downhome grit of Joe Don Baker and Bo Svenson, who played Pusser in the '70s feature and its sequels), and the story is doggedly formulaic in its march to a showdown conclusion. The action, however, is plentiful, and should provide a passing distraction for viewers seeking some testosterone-heavy thrills. -- Paul Gaita

Product Description

Kevin Sorbo stars as Nick Prescott in this action-packed sequel to the hit film, Walking Tall, as the son of a small town sheriff who returns to home to discover the place in which he grew up is now overrun with crime, drugs and violence. A group of ruthless criminals is purchasing real estate using strong-arm tactics. With the cooperation of corrupt local county policemen, they have been pilfering gas from local gas stations, leaving a trail of destruction behind. When Nick's father, in an effort to stop the criminals, is ruthlessly killed, Nick enlists the help of an FBI agent in an effort to seek out justice and revenge.

Much better than expected, Kevin Sorbo did well, good story........2007-04-19

I enjoyed the first Walking tall, Starting the rock in a story of one man's quest to turn around his small hometown that had been overun with crime and drugs. This movie is based in Boone texas, and Kevin sorbo plays the son of the long time county sherrif, who county is having a bunch of trouble with recent crimes and "bad accidents" after his 30 years of relative peace on the job. Finally, after an explosion at one of the local gas sations, the sherrif uncovers something that leads him to suspect something big is going on. Unfortunatly for him, he became invovled in something bigger than him, and payed the ultimate price with his life. Well, His son (Kevin Sorbo) comes back to town to help his mom, and Do something about fixing his town. The movie takes off from there. Good action, Sorbo was a great fit for the role. Decent script, although some of the lines and acting can get cheesy, it decent for most action movies. And this does not let anybody down for action. Check it out, good follow up movie in the series, thankfully not billed as a sequel.

I don't understand why they keep making these silly walking tall movies with little or no regard to Sheriff Buford Pusser, the real and only walking tall (HELLO)!!!!! Why can't someone just remake the REAL TRUE STORY of Sheriff Buford Pusser??????

Good Movie!.......2007-03-29

I was a little dissapointed that there wasn't more action, but this was a really good movie with solid acting by everyone and a good script. I loved the bar fight scene!! Kevin Sorbo was great, as always, and AJ Buckley did a good job as the main villian. I can't wait until Walking Tall 3 comes out!

Walking Tall - Great Movie.......2007-03-27

After a few hiccups with actually recieving my copy of Walking Tall The Payback, i really enjoyed this movie and thought that Kevin Sorbo and the supporting cast did a great job.

Kevin Sorbo is great in any role he plays and this one was no exception. He played the role of Nick Prescott so well. I really loved his character.

AJ Buckely was great bad guy, so much so that I wanted to hit him. He showed a little bit of compassion but not much in one part of the movie.

Jennifer Sipes role was only small but a role that you wont' forget in a hurry, she portrayed Krystal really well and the emotion she showed without having to even say a word.

Have watched this movie many times already and will watch it many times more.

Bring on the next movie.
