The Missouri Breaks Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
May 22, 2025
Marlon Brando was miscast, making it hard to take the movie seriously.
The Barb (Atlanta)
Steve Warren
Marlon Brando's incredibly hammy performance is enough to negate all the picture's positive aspects.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
The fact of the matter is, Brando's campy performance continues to enliven otherwise tepid material. As his foil, Nicholson is also enigmatic.
Santa Cruz Sentinel
Dale Pollock
he Missouri Breaks is a unique film that is not necessarily a great film.
Bay Area Reporter
David Lamble
This totally unhinged romp, with moments as pleasurable as anything in Butch Cassidy or Unforgiven, anticipates the Coen Brothers...
Philadelphia Gay News
David A. Nardozzi
The Missouri Breaks is by far one of the year's finest films, boasting brilliant direction, a superb screenplay, and an outstanding acting duel between its two leading stars.
Los Angeles Free Press
Jacoba Atlas
The Missouri Breaks fairly reverberates with unexpected brilliance.
The New York Review of Books
Michael Wood
Although the general western flavor of the film seems all right, an air of pastiche is never far off, as if this were really a western made not by Arthur Penn but by Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Philip Martin
... worth seeing if only for the madness of Marlon Brando ... it's not hard to see why some charge him with sabotaging the film with a genuinely bizarre performance
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
A Western-as-capitalist-critique piece shanghaied by Marlon Brando's eccentric bounty hunter trying on brogues, mumus, and buckskin Nudie suits.
Variety
As a film achievement it's corned beef and ham hash.
Video-Reviewmaster.com
Steve Crum
Interesting, even if not cohesive, Brando & Nicholson western.
Boulder Weekly
Thomas Delapa
If Penn failed to ride herd on his two superstars, he still was able to wrangle some sharp observations on the clash between the mythic old West and its reality
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
Brando's conversation with his horse, in which he notes that the animal has "the lips of Salome and the eyes of Cleopatra," must be seen to be believed...
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Brando admittedly improvised quite a bit in his over-the-top role.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Enjoyable, if forgettable, New Hollywood shtick.
