Forfølgeren-bedømmelser og anmeldelser
- PoetofCinema26. oktober 2025A stunning western….. John Ford and John Wayne are both legendary figures of cinema.
- John Moss13. oktober 2025Beautiful backdrops abound. Nonetheless, John Wayne's performance is stiff and frankly a disappointment considering the love this movie receives from film buffs. It might have been groundbreaking at the time of its release, but it doesn't seem to have stood the test of time in my opinion.
- marshalsea27. august 2025There's a reason this is loved and lauded. Writing is great, balancing quickly between serious and other to great effect. John Wayne imposes and shows off his acting chops, others support. Yes it's a bit decades old, but at least it's well written.
- Mister Arn13. juli 2025“The Searchers”, directed by John Ford, features John Wayne in perhaps his most complex role, a Civil War veteran whose years-long quest to find his kidnapped niece exposes both relentless determination and deep-seated prejudice. Opposite him, Jeffrey Hunter provides a grounded moral counterpoint, and together their performances create the film’s emotional weight. Ford’s sweeping shots of Monument Valley and the haunting final doorframe image are cinematic landmarks. This isn’t a Western to watch passively; it invites reflection and challenges notions of heroism. For those willing to engage with its contradictions, it remains essential viewing.
- willyboy6817. juni 2025Perhaps the best John Wayne movie! Always rates in the top ten of western movies. Never gets old.
- Ray Hopkin20. maj 2025This is a masterpiece in the western genre. John Wayne gives one of his most brilliant performances, mainly because he's playing someone who is so repellent, a racist, and keeps you guessing until the end what he'll end up doing. Although I'm not sure he would have softened up so much in the end. The movie is beautiful to watch, and the moral dilemmas it brings up are probably still relevant today, maybe more so. I think that both Ethan and Scar are mirror images of each other, surrounded by their respective societies who are struggling to just get by, but are always in the shadows of these two men who are so repugnant, racist and riddled with hatred and revenge. It's an absolutely brilliant movie.
