Review of The Searchers (1956) by Jonny C — 23 Mar 2009
Good western. I suppose I was expecting something grander, as I was really looking forward to this one. But it still did the business. John Ford direction never disappoints. His cinematography in The Searchers, is some of the best I've seen out of all his movies.
John Wayne is magnificent, with his darkest performance since Red River. I was little disappointed with the dialogue, and there was some terrible acting from an annoying Hank Worden as the crazy man, and Jeffrey Hunter as Martin.
But it's still a good western with plenty of memorable moments.
