alvram-64335 This is the type of western that you can rewatch several times and find something new --not only is the cast of the chart, but the acting, the dialogue, the humor, the good writing makes it an outstanding movie.

rizemancustomsllc The actors are still alive and Netflix has done a ton for movies lately... It's time for the final ending for Silverado...

mojotre I sometimes jokingly tell people this is the greatest Western I have ever watched. Then I wonder if I really am joking.From the opening scene where the buddies meet up to the introduction of the baddies and their actions. All seems plausible due to very good direction and writing. Yes there are clichés, but in a good way.If you like Westerns of any sort you will enjoy this movie.And now, a word about review length requirements. I added that longer middle section to fulfill the length requirement. I don't really think it adds to the review and I think shorter reviews should be allowed. After all, this last sentence would not be necessary at all.

zardoz-13 "Bill Chill" writer & director Lawrence Kasdan made the perfect western "Silverado" with Scott Glenn, Kevin Kline, Kevin Costner, and Danny Glover. This four-fisted horse opera finds an oddball assortment of individuals thrown together into an alliance when they encounter common foes. Clocking in at 133 minutes, "Silverado" boasts a number of rambunctious gunfights, with Costner imitating Steve McQueen, right down to riding his horse side saddle. This atmospheric western is reminiscent of those oaters from the 1950s rather than Spaghetti westerns. Kasdan has assembled an impressive supporting cast that includes John Cleese, Brian Dennehy, Linda Hunt, Jeff Goldblum, James Gammon, Rosana Arquette, and Lyn Whitfield. The production values are stupendous, and "Silverado" looks thoroughly genuine. Kasdan's dialogue is memorable, too. The opening scene with Scott Glenn cornered in a shack while several gunmen try to kill him is interesting because we in the audience are trapped alongside Glenn. Relying on his wits, Glenn's cowboy hero never sees any of his assailants but he makes mincemeat of them with his fancy shooting. He is riding to a town called Turley to rendezvous with his impulsive younger brother Jake (Kevin Costner) and runs across Paden (Kevin Kline) left to die in the desert. Emmett nurses Paden back to health and Paden sets out to find the dastards that left him for dead. Meantime, Malachi (Danny Glover of the "Lethal Weapon" franchise) is going home to see his parents. Kasdan doesn't waste a second in this heavy duty sagebrusher that doesn't rub your nose in gore. Composer Bruce Broughton has created an Elmer Bernstein type orchestral score. Western fans must watch this western!
