Critic Reviews for The Westerner
All Critics (7) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (0)
Toland's landscapes are superb.
Bean is too amusingly crafty to remain an easily reformed villain, and Harden is too upright to resort to underhanded revenge tactics; a dramatic face-off is unavoidable.
The argument itself is not very different from other horsemen like that, but the characterization is superb. [Full review in Spanish]
Gary Cooper gives a commanding performance in William Wyler's popular 1940 Western, which features Walter Brennan in an Oscar-winning turn
An offbeat melodramatic Western with added comedy that makes the villain a more arresting subject than the hero.
Audience Reviews for The Westerner
This is some great stuff! I really enjoyed it. And it was released in 1940? Man, has this movie aged well or what? It really holds up today.
Super Reviewer
Ordinary western especially coming from Wyler. Walter Brennan won an Oscar for this?
Super Reviewer
I saw this on TV because I was bored. I hate westerns, and this movie didn't grab my interest, so I didn't watch the whole thing. From what I saw it didn't look like a great movie.
