I've wanted to see this film for the longest time -- ever since I first read about it in the book "Cult Movies" by Danny Peary. I was not disappointed. "The Shooting" is one of the most interesting -- and one of the weirdest -- Westerns ever. Imagine a Spaghetti Western written by Rod Serling, adapted from a Samuel Beckett play. Throw a cast that includes the great Warren Oates, an evil Jack Nicholson, a bitchy Millie Perkins, some hellish desert locales, and a truly bizarre ending -- a definite ... Read More

It's best to get it out of the way right up front - 'The Shooting' looks like a Western, smells like a Western, even tastes like a Western, but that don't make it a Western. It doesn't matter whether you're a fan of John Wayne or Clint Eastwood, if you go into this movie with any sort of 'Western' expectation, you're likely to come out disappointed. I think it's important to emphasize this - the genre description of 'Western' has too many connotations, and although 'The Shooting' may initially stay ... Read More

The next day, a mysterious woman (Millie Perkins) appears at the camp and hires Will to take her to a nearby town. Will is hesitant to accept the job from this rude woman who refuses ... Read More

Let's be honest about something. Warren Oates did some great acting in a lot of really, really bad movies. He didn't have much to work with but tore into his role like a starving man in ppen all night deli. Much of what came out of the late 60s was artsy garbage and this is firmly in that camp.
Warren's character takes a job guiding a mysterious woman into the dessert. She's tracking someone and has also hired a killer to finish the guy off when she gets him. The killer is played by a young Jack ... Read More
