Summary: Brando's all-time classic
Review: Besides the magnificent cinematography (wich makes me dream of being there, in Mexico), the inovative direction of Mr. Brando and the inteligent plot, one thing amazed me most: the Western reached the Pacific! It's very rare to see a story of the Old West which includes sea footage. When it happens, it's time to check it out. This single detail is only one of the many surprises included in this complex and sophisticated movie, an all-time Brando's classic, the only one directed by himself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie
Review: Some of the greatest portrayed rage I've ever seen. Brando would have made Bruce Lee afraid of him. Rewind the scenes where Brando "goes berserk" and enjoy them over and over. He makes Travis Bickle look like a pussy cat. The first time you see it you will be blown away. This is a classic.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: BE WARNED
Review: Unfortunately I did not have a chance to check out other customer comments concerning this DVD. So, for those who do check first ....be WARNED. This is the worst DVD I have experienced to date. The quality is similar to an EP recorded video tape. The sound is terrible, and to be honest I had to shut my unit off after enduring only the first 5 minutes of the movie. Too bad, for the original VistaVision , Technicolor print was a gem when I ran it in the theatre. I'm disappointed in Amazon, for allowing such a slimy Company to sell their obvious duped product, on their web site. I have learned my lesson, and will not buy another (BARGAIN DVD) from an unknown company.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst copy of film in history
Review: I implore you not to buy this DVD. This is a classic western brilliantly acted and directed by Marlon Brando. However, this is the worst transfer to DVD I have ever seen. There is a constant high-pitched hiss and horrible video quality throughout the film. I have seen a beautiful letterbox print of this film on the Amercian Movie Classics channel. Save your money until a better transfer is released.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of a Kind Western
Review: Brooding outlaw Marlon Brando seeks to even the score with the former partner who double-crossed him (Karl Malden). Though a little disjointed at times, this film is otherwise so well crafted and performed that one easily can forgive any minor shortcomings. The supporting actors are uniformly excellent, the tension well-sustained, the setting beautiful, and of course, nobody else can be Brando. Highly recommended.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Unwatchable...
Review: I'm afraid I have to second the comments made by the previous reviewer. This is a classic film ruined by a disasterous transfer to DVD.

For the version I saw, the picture broke up about 5 minutes into the film.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Classic western ruined in this DVD form
Review: One of the great westerns of all time has been butchered in this DVD form which looks and sounds like a 3rd generation knock-off.Apparently, Paramount no longer has the rights or the interest in saving this gem. Warn your customers and have them find the wide-screen laser-disk.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: terrible transfer
Review: Don't get me wrong, One Eyed Jacks is a great film, but don't even consider buying this DVD. The transfer looks washed out, as if it had been done from a 15 year old betamax copy. The sound echoes badly from beginning to end and worst of all the picture breaks up completely about two thirds of the way through the film. Even though it's not a lot of $'s I beg of you don't buy this DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: best part
Review: I think the best part was when Brando told Malden that he had been in prison and Malden didnt believe him and tossed the whole thing off. Brando knew it would be hopeless to convince "Dad" of the truth. When Brando called Ben Johnson a "scum suckin pig" in the cabin, Johnsons blanched look was classic.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Great movie, Horrible transfer!
Review: Can't say enough about this movie. It is a favorite of mine. Brando's portrayal of the old western gunfighter is classic. This transfer on DVD is the worst I have ever seen. You dont buy a DVD player to watch movies like this. Better transfers are out there. Cable has aired crystal clear versions of this film in letterbox format, another weakness of this rendition. The video store was kind enough to refund my money. Buyers beware, if you haven't already you will soon discover not all DVDs are created equal. You may think 10 bucks is a steal for a DVD movie only to find when you get home the video tape is much better. I am still waiting for the definative DVD rendition of this film from Paramount.
