Review of Silverado (1985) by Compi24 — 15 Apr 2018
Co-writer and director Lawrence Kasdan's "Silverado" might be the most overlooked and unsung western I've seen thus far in my film-watching tenure. This is a rip-roaring, well-structured, and brilliantly textured portrait of an era long past, with all of the iconic genre staples present and accounted for.
The scheming land barons, the penitent gunslingers looking to escape their pasts, the two-timing lawmen - they're all here and presented with charm. But these gunfights are what you came here for. There's at least two or three per act and they're all expertly choreographed.
The performances are all well-tailored and aside for a couple of useless characters here and there, the overall product is just the same - solid and entertaining as all get-out.
