Review of Silverado (1985) by Ian B — 31 May 2013
The 80's were a tough decade for the western, but leave it to the genius of Lawrence Kasdan to give us one of the most enjoyable efforts the genre has to offer, even to this day. Yes, this is a classic western story that's been told many times before, but rarely have they been filled with this much fun and excitement.
And talk about an all-star cast! Kevin Kline, Danny Glover, Jeff Goldblum, Kevin Costner, John Cleese...the list goes on and on. It's one of those movie where you can tell everyone is having a blast with their role, whether they're on screen for two hours for ten minutes.
It may not have the emotion or grit of Eastwood's best in the genre, but it's still a hell of a lot of fun and will likely be remembered as one of the best.
