Silverado (1985)

[Scott]

Finished SILVERADO (1985) tonight. It stars Scott Glenn, Kevin Kline, Kevin Costner, Danny Glover, John Cleese, and others. Well, this is a good family western, but something was lacking for me. It was filmed almost like a TV mini-series or something. Many of the action scenes were exceptional. The gun play was a bit different.

I didn't really like this one. All is good until the main characters reach Silverado, but then everything gets dull and slow. Not for me, I'd rather watch the other western by Kasdan, "Wyatt Earp". The critics panned it, but I found it far more interesting.

Oh, and "Diabolique" (1955) was directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot, not Truffaut.

Thanks Neville. I must have been in the Foreign Film section to long.
