Member Rating:  
Lawrence Kasdan's Silverado is a fond hark back to the all-star, big-budget westerns of the 1950s and 1960s. The various plotlines converge at the town of Silverado, held in thrall by crooked sheriff Brian Dennehy and his behemoth "deputies." The four disparate heroes--Kevin Kline, Kevin Costner, Scott Glenn and Danny Glover--prepare to do battle against Dennehy for personal reasons ranging from mercenary to altruistic. Sidelines characters include duplicitous, dandified gambler Jeff Goldblum, frontier widow Rosanna Arquette and gimlet-eyed saloon owner Linda Hunt. The film is stolen hands-down by Kevin Costner, playing an irresponsible young gunslinger who never speaks when hootin' and hollerin' will do. A classic, High Noon-style showdown caps this rousing retro western. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

If you're one of those left-wing pansies who believes that there is never a need for violence, then this movie is not for you. There is real evil in the world, and it ain't reasonable and it it is not willing to negotiate. Sometimes you just gotta vanquish it. This is an awesome western with an all-star cast (watch for Sheb Wooley!).

This movie is more a showcase for big name actors than a western movie. It seems like they all competed for time onscreen. The plot is very thin and predictable.
