At a disused railway station, three men -- a con artist (Edward G. Robinson), a preacher (William Shatner) and a prospector (Howard Da Silva) -- discuss the recent trial and sentencing of the outlaw Juan Carrasco (Paul Newman) for the murder of a man (Laurence Harvey) and the rape of his wife (Claire Bloom).

Newman as the violent and passionate killer plays his colorful character with a flourish and heavy accent... [Bloom] delivers strongly, turning glibly from drama to comedy. Go to Full Review Elizabeth Hardwick Vogue 06/20/2023
This is one of the most inept movies in memory. The dialogue is a buzz of clichés, the conception throughout vulgar and uninspired. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 02/22/2022

mark g @Mark_Alan_G. 01/31/2025 Rashomon attempt that fails miserably. Really poorly done. See more Jeff S @jeffstone 02/14/2024 Strange movie that folds together neatly in the end. See more Steve D @RT35616104 07/23/2023 A product of its time and not a good one. See more 12/21/2020 Great movie Love James Wong Howe cinematographer See more bill t @Spuzz 12/14/2019 Pretty much a "Why did this need to get remade?" movie. In this case, Rashomon is pretty much exactly remade, only this time it's a western. Some curious casting abound, from William Shatner as a priest, to Paul Newman as a mexican bandit (!!). All in all, pretty good, if you absolutely don't like watching classic Japanese movies. See more Solomon M @RT13059610 05/19/2019 Akin to Sergio Leone's "A Fistful of Dollars" it is a great homage to Akira Kurosawa's "Rashomon". See more Read all reviews
