5.0 out of 5 stars Talk About True Grit ! ! !, 26 Feb 2003
By TheHighlander (Richfield, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lawman [VHS] [1970] (VHS Tape)
I got this movie from the United States Amazon.

Burt Lancaster plays Marshal Jared Maddox. Maddox is an unforgiving, hard as nails man that does not compromise. He sees everything in black and white. The law is to upheald and justice served at all costs. When a group of drunken cowboys shoot up his town returning from a cattle drive when he is out on the trail a man dies. The group doing the shooting was just "having fun" and was not intent on hurting anyone but still Maddox sees that a man has died and justice must be served.
He sets out in pursuit of the group. He finds them in another town and finds that the leader of the cattle drive actually owns the town. He must fact the town and the cowboys on his own and he does not shrink of the task. The local marshall, a former gunfighter, knows the kind of man he is looking at when he looks at Maddox. He tries to explain to everyone that this is an uncompromising man, a man that is harder than the land and harder than the times. But no one will listen.

One by one the cowboys fall as they try to face Maddox town until the final scene where four of them ride into town to set things right.

I had never pictured Burt Lancaster playing a hard driven, hard hearted character like this. I was very pleased with this movie. If you like westerns you will absolutely love this movie. If you like classics you should enjoy this movie. If you like well defined characters in your movies you will like this movie. In short, an outstanding movie.

3.0 out of 5 stars A great Western but a criminal DVD transfer, 12 Oct 2008
By Trevor Willsmer (London, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
If nothing else, Lawman proves that there is such a thing as a script so good that not even Michael Winner could screw it up, although having an excellent cast doesn't hurt. Burt Lancaster is the lawman of the title, determined to bring in several cattlemen (Robert Duvall among them) only to find that the local boss Lee J. Cobb owns the town and its once famous, now cowardly world-weary sheriff Robert Ryan, who all but steals the film. Curiously, Ryan far preferred this film to The Wild Bunch, though that may be down to Winner's deference to his stars compared with the thoroughly miserable time he had working with Peckinpah (there's another Peckinpah connection in composer Jerry Fielding, who contributes a good, brooding score). Joseph Wiseman, Richard Jordan, Albert Salmi and Sheree North are also thrown into the mix, and surprisingly all of them have well defined characters in what becomes an increasingly complex morality play about the void between what's legal and what's practical as Lancaster begins to realize that his strict adherence to the letter of the law has left him with nothing else in his life.

At times Gerald Wilson's script is perhaps a tad overwritten - everyone gets their big scene explaining their worldview, with no-one truly bad, merely weak - but it's a forgivable weakness. Winner's not quite as overly reliant on crash zooms as usual, though his characteristic laziness does manifest itself in one scene that has characters ride up to Cobb's house in darkness and come into the room in daylight, but for someone like Winner that's almost verging on the competent by his standards. Although uncut (the Region 2 PAL release has a minor cut to remove an illegal horse fall), sadly MGM/UA's Region 1 DVD is a stinker of a transfer, looking like it was shot through a dirty window. The trailer is the only extra.
