At times, The Appaloosa appears to work out well.
However, for the most part, the film is bad. Marlon Brando tries his best, but it's not enough. The story is
simplistic and derivative, bringing back memories of Guns for San Sebastian
with Anthony Quinn and ironically Anjanette Comer.
I didn't realize until afterwards that the bad guy, although I wouldn't label him as such, was John Saxon. Although he's a
swarthy-looking guy, why couldn't the director cast a Mexican instead?
All in all, if you want to know what an Appaloosa horse looks like, you'll get the answer by seeing The Appaloosa;
otherwise, it's a good selection if you're bored on a Sunday afternoon.
