The Missouri Breaks Movie Download

5 / 10

Rather obscure
THE MISSOURI BREAKS is one of the odder westerns of the 1970s, featuring a typically larger-than-life supporting role for Marlon Brando who seems to be in his own little world. The main thrust of the tale concerns Jack Nicholson’s anti-hero, a horse thief and leader of a gang which Brando is soon in hot pursuit of. Brando gets long reams of dialogue to spout and occasionally cross-dresses while killing the bad guys. Nicholson is typically crude yet likeable, and the genre trappings are well-handled in that grittility realistic style of the 1970s. The well-judged supporting cast includes the likes of Randy Quaid, John P. Ryan and Harry Dean Stanton all of whom can be relied upon to entertain.
