Review of Mad Dog Morgan (1976) by Brody M — 13 Oct 2009
It's basically a spaghetti western set in colonial Australia. There's some social and racial issues portrayed but not very forcefully or successfully. Most of the movie involves Dennis Hopper riding around, killing people and speaking homespun poetry (basically) in an Irish lilt.
Some of these monologues are good. Some aren't. The supporting cast is very throw-away, even the potato-faced main antagonist, even you can even call Daniel Morgan a protagonist, isn't a successful match.
I'm a fan of yin and yang in movies. Balance is good and this movie doesn't exactly have that. Choppy pacing. It's entertaining to watch once though. On a side note, I can't believe that Dennis Hopper is a Republican.
That just doesn't make any sense.
