The Desperadoes Ratings & Reviews
- eif999August 12, 2025Maybe a little too much comedy for my taste but this was pleasant enough to enjoy. I usually don't love seeing Ford but he actually acts in this one. Claire Trevor had some comic chops.
- Mister ArnMay 24, 2025A typical western, but the buddy aspect of the film doesn't seem to work. Plus, I didn't particularly appreciate that they only inserted comedy into the gunfights. It seemed out of place.
