One-Eyed Jacks Reviews:
Directed by Brando 
2009-10-09 - One Eyed Jacks, along with A Streetcar Named Desire, represent the very best of the genius of Brando. He not only starred in One Eyed Jacks, but directed it. It is a classic Western in theme, but is surprisingly romantic. He is Rio, a bank robber and gunman, on a path of revenge. It has a beautiful score and was shot in Monterey, CA, and is both sweeping and gritty. Brando's performance is sexy, powerful, magnetic and compelling. There is lack of continuity in several insert shots, so unfortunately it has a rough cut feel in some places. It has not been digitally remastered and restored. This is an important film that deserves to be updated so that its beauty can be fully enjoyed.
Great movie very poor video 
2009-10-07 - The movie had it all and then some. Very interesting. My one big complaint is the very poor video quality. Don't know why but I would not recomend this version of the movie.
Broody Western Classic
2009-09-19 - ONE EYED JACKS is quite unique and very memorable under Brando's direction. He demonstrates several innovative camera movements that move the story quite fluidly along. Very pensive filmmaking here. I like this film.
It is visually very atmospheric and moody. It does not play out like a traditional Western or tale of revenge. The final confrontation is anti-climatic but what leads up to the film's conclusion is mesmerizing. The images and some of the obscure dialogue are very memorable and haunting. It is definitely a good film and worth repeated viewing.
I like the cover art if this DVD.
