Despite THE MISSOURI BREAKS stars Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson it ended a bit in oblivion, and I hoped to see it from a very long time because it stars them. Then on July 2021 it was released OLD by M. Night Shyamalan and the lead always said that Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson did a Western together, and last December I finally saw it. While I didn't loved it, it was merely ok.
Tom Logan (Nicholson) is an horse thief that one day arrives with his gang in Montana and they are responsible of animal theft. For defense, farmer David Braxton hires Robert Lee Clayton (Marlon Brando), a bizarre adventurer that is known as a bounty hunter and manages to kill nearly all of Logan's gang members up until Tom goes to his home and... it's better that you see it for yourselves.
Nicholson acted finely, and that shouldn't come as a surprise. Brando instead was bizarre in this role, not only because he mostly mumbled his lines but because he tried to portray a new character for him that it came off a bit awkward. And despite the pace was a bit too slow from time to time, the tense moments made me appreciate it somehow.
Overall, a unique Western mostly of interest for fans of the leads and for the rest, watchable but nothing more.
