"Silverado"

ALL the conventions... a hanging, a jailbreak, a posse, a bar fight, a stampede, a duel, a wagon trail ...all the western stereotypes, stories & subplots ...more. The original spirit was it is 'supposed to' be 'over the top' (& a little 'tongue in cheek') as an 'authenticity' play to the audience of that day but 'state of the art' stunts, great cast (an academy award winner), great sets, wardrobe, props, monument valley... it's all in here. It worked! A big hit... I enjoyed it a lot and remembered how much when I just saw it again. It is a must see with regards to the 'Western' Genre (in my opinion). A great movie too! - Editor

Audience reviews

Don White10 of 10 for the genre. The characters are quasi-stereotypical sure, but if good v.s. evil in the 1880's American West is your cup of tea, you just hit the jackpot! This movie just works from beginning to end, as a star-studded cast of the day gives performances that rank among their personal best. intermittent humor hits all the right places, but it's necessary in the face of Old West grit, where the law is relative, often absent, and commonly twisted. --- At the time, any movie enthusiast could name 10 of the cast members, but even if you only take names after the ass kickin' you're gonna love them either way. Simply one of the most entertaining Westerns ever made. Enjoy!
Cheryl WilliamsI love this movie. Kevin Costner gave a good performance. I like that the good wins and they were tough, The 4 of them did what had to be done. I hated that Danny Glover's character lost his father. to evil. My favorite part is when Kevin hides in the saloon and backs out the front door and shoots two bad guys.
Connor PlumeArguably the best western ever, and we ain’t talking about the hotel chain. This movie has a star studded cast with everything you’d want in a typical western. Some of those typical story lines seen in this movie include a jail break, a kidnapping, a dirty sheriff, a stampede or two and many, many shootouts, plus a duel, just to name a few.
