Review of On the Waterfront (1954) by Nicholas G — 04 Dec 2015
This movie shows you that you can't please all the people all the time and sometimes making the right decision is very hard. Johnny friendly the films antagonist rules the waterfront and people are very afraid of him.
He is responsible for a number of murders. After Terry Malloy witnesses a murder he begins to fall for the victim's sister and is contemplating ratting out his friends but this decision will have some deadly consequences.
This is a very well acted movie and is an important movie that influenced other similar movies that followed. This movie's strongest elements are its coherent and well structured plot and incredible acting from Brando and Saint.
This movie simply ticks all the boxes great story, great script, great direction, great acting and great cinematography. TIMELESS CLASSIC 5/5.
