    Some movies deserve their reputation and then some. It's a perfectly paced yarn with a fabulous central performance from Bogart. Trlu beautiful stuff.

    ★★★

    Fabulous direction, cinematography, special effects, and acting can't quite save the underwritten plot in this enjoyable but flawed piece.

    'Men' is an atmospheric and trippy experience with a good dose of tension and body horror, but the points it tries to make on guilt, grief and toxic masculinity are too vague for them to have any long lasting impact after the credits roll.

    ★★★★½

    Beautifully shot Classic Western, whose vibrant colours and poetic direction keep the material from being much more than a relic of its time.
    Modern audiences will likely (and understandably) struggle with some of the character motivations and the depiction of native American peoples, though as a snapshot of U.S. self-mythologising and creating its own folklore it really can't be beat.
