Review: 'High Noon' is an absolute masterpiece. I am not a great fan of black and white films but I am a great fan of westerns and this film blew me away. There is no doubt that this is one of the best westerns ever made. The acting is excellent but it is the suspense that makes this film. By the end you'll be pissing yourself with excitement as the film slowly builds to the inevitable climax. However, if you buy this film hoping for the usual gun slinging, brave hero with a band of friends, western you will be disappointed. This western definitely stands out from the crowd for its realism. Our hero, the sheriff, comes back to town after he hears about a notorious outlaw coming in on the next train. However, he comes back to a town where he isn't wanted. Hoping to raise a band of companions to help him fight the menace he finds himself left alone. In this film everyone's a coward and even Gary Cooper (the sheriff) admits his fear and almost leaves before it's to late. As time ticks by and the train pulls closer to the station you'll find yourself trembling with excitement. If you're looking for a brilliant new addition to your DVD collection then 'High Noon' could be just what you're looking for and I would definitely recommend the product to anyone who is a fan of the genre. |
