To me, this movie is perfection.

TrueHello

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Thus movie grabbed my attention with it's ratings on imdb and Matascore. Unfortunately after I have seen a movie I was deeply disappointed by too much dialog and no suspense, which defines a WESTERN genre, but I have to give them a credit, because picture is looking beutiful and a acting is good. Just it wasn't my expectancy and gust.

Fred Dobbs and Bob Curtin, two Americans searching for work in Mexico, convince an old prospector to help them mine for gold in the Sierra Madre Mountains. An adventure, drama and western movie right? well none of those 3 are present in the end of this film and i guess why should they even be present right? This movie was literally way to slow and just way to boring but people who like movies about treasures might enjoy it although don't expect the 1948's version of Indiana Jones cause this movie ain't on that level or any level i guess in the end... (0/10)

THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE (1948) is a terrific action adventure drama. While the script and direction are just great, enough praise cannot be showered upon the three lead actors. WALTER HUSTON owns this film. I don't think i have seen such an effortlessly brilliant performance in my life. The rich characterization certainly helps. WALTER HUSTONS's picaresque character HOWARD is what keeps the expedition going. Without him, the two hapless losers (HUMPHREY BOAGRT and TIM HOLT) would turn on each other.I am sure the greed and sheer existential desperation of the characters inspired the directors of WAGES OF FEAR, SORCERER, APOCALYPSE NOW etc.

Movie Review: "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" (1948)A book written by writer Bruno Traven (1882-1969) and presumingly published in 1927, then discovered by Hollywood director John Huston (1906-1987) and adapted to attract Hollywood star Humphrey Bogart (1899-1957) to break public character as the easing-cool figure of smoke and drink to become the thoughout unlikeable character of Dobbs, who nevertheless creates "high-rise" fascinations as suspense due to the teaming-up with down-to-earth empathetic Howard, played by the director's real-life father Walter Houston (1883-1950) with harding streetwise wisdom, and actor Tim Holt (1919-1973) as running-for-a-chance Curtin; together they embark into the title-given desert-mountain-strip of Mexico to dig for gold.The story-arc with this gripping 125-Minute-Movie received in times of a fading Hollywood era with "Consent Decree" of year 1948 with regard to United States versus "Paramount Pictures" concluding into splitting states of filmmaking empires by separating exhibition entities from incorporated film producing Major studios, when also Warner Bros. needed to bend a knee with this final effort of a high-concept alternative Western-drama out for the hunt of Academy-Awards at the Oscars in its 21st edition celebrated on March 24th 1949 to a fulminate win for "Best Directing" with regards to John Huston, who had hold together a highly-diverse state of emotions without giving in to spectacle over moral truthfulness.© 2018 Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC
