I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

I don't really know Wim Wenders work other than Paris Texas, so had no expectations, but I found this film a real gem. The characters are wonderful. The performances (particularly Eva Marie Saint and Jessica Lange) are amazing. The whole thing looks fantastic, and the music is perfectly judged. I read it described as a film about a man who tries to reconcile with his past - and somehow the film manages to fit in 5 or 6 complex relationships so well that you get really transported to his/their world. Jessica Lange has a scene that is one of the best scenes I have ever seen. (actually she has several, but you'll know which). Initially I wasn't sure if Sam Shephard's character showed enough charisma for you to believe his life as the lovable rogue, but everything else is so good I'm thinking I might have got that wrong - perhaps at this point in his life where he is full of guilt it would have taken away from the story if he was still a charmer. Strangely the copy I bought on Amazon was only about 1hr45 which shows less than show on IMDb, but I didn't feel I had missed anything. Perhaps it was cut after theatrical release for the better because I can't really understand why the film I watched wasn't a huge success, I loved it.

"Don't Come Knocking" is the incredibly boring story of a washed up cowboy movie actor's attempt to escape from the role he plays in real life. Unfortunately, we the audience are taken along on his mundane quest to nowhere. Solid production quality does nothing to help this humorless, dreary odyssey. The acting is good, but the drama is forced and the lines are often downright silly. Tim Roth's performance as the eccentric bounty hunter sent to retrieve the AWOL actor is simply weird, even by his standards. I was unable to care about any character in the movie - not a single one! In the end, I was hoping an asteroid would suddenly appear and strike Butte Montana, killing all the characters there. That, would have be the best way to end this pretentious movie.

First of all: I'm a big Wim Wenders admiror. For so far I've seen almost all of his movies and to me he is truly one of the BIG directors of his generation. Together with R.W.Fassbinder, Volker Schlöndorf and Werner Herzog he shaped post-war German cinema and renewed it's status and quality it had lost since the early 20th century (Fritz Lang, Murnau,...). I will always remember Wenders as the director who gave me "Der Himmel über Berlin", "Der Amerikanische freund" and "Paris, Texas". These films are all included in my personal top20 and I count them among the best films of the second half of the 20th century. Unfortunately, Wenders left Europe to live his "American dream", which in my opinion gave him only less inspiration and authenticity. While his German productions were truly original, well directed pieces of visual art with stunning cinematography, I have not seen a single of his US-releases that left me in awe (I need to point out here that "Paris-Texas" was a German production). Although I liked "The end of violence", most of his US releases from the last years were bad. "The million dollar hotel" had a thin story, "Land of plenty" was just poor and so is this "Don't come knocking". Although the soundtrack is good (which is almost always the case in a Wenders film) the cinematography was rather disappointing, the dialogue unnatural, the acting rather bad and the story just to cheesy. The film s not bad in his own right, but having seen Wenders'other films, I can't help comparing. From the brilliance of his early black and white masterpieces (Im lauf der zeit!!!) to this rather melodramatic soap-opera, is a steep way down...I can only hope Wenders will see this for himself and take some time for reflection. Maybe coming back to Europe would help? I don't know, but what I do know is that Wenders can do better than that, and he has proved it many times...

Since I heard that Wim Wenders was collaborating again with Sam Shepard, I got very interested in seeing the result. This film has fulfilled all my expectations: it is a very good movie, which reflects as in a mirror the spirit of Shepard's plays and short tales. The screenplay from Mr. Shepard finds in Mr. Wenders's filming the perfect complement. The story contains many of Sam Shepard's constant themes:father/son issues, family concerns, landscape as a reflection of the main character's inner being... So, it will not surprise to any "fan" of Mr. Shepard as a writer, but could result striking for those who don't know his work (as, unfortunately, it happens here in Spain, where he is not very well-known as a playwright). It is also remarkable the work of all the actors in the movie: both young and mature characters are wonderfully played by them. So, one has the pleasure of watching the progression of the new generation beside the experience of solid stars, as Eva-Marie Saint. It is an additional pro seeing Mr. Shepard acting with/confronted to Jessica Lange: the result is a very intense film that I would recommend to people interested in discovering the "roots" of American people, a view built, in this occasion, by both an American-born writer and an European director.
