great performance from Newman

Starring Paul Newman, he plays Roy Bean, who is nearly killed by the inhabitants of a badlands bar and brothel. He returns to take vengeance only to find that he is the new symbol of law and order in the area. He becomes Judge and dispenses justice until time and events past by him. I’ve never seen Paul Newman give a bad performance and in this film he exceeds my expectations and delivers another good performance. The supporting cast does a good job as well with their believable input for their characters. Despite that praise, the film is not perfect. Everything that was built up at the beginning of the film sort of fades away and some things don’t really work as well – it runs out of gas. But this is still a fun movie to watch. There are some great scenes but enjoy this movie simply for Paul Newman’s performance.
