Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Brilliant and touching

A lot of fun.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Skip it – "When you get to the arrow, start running!" The "run of the arrow" is a torture game the Sioux played to give their prisoners a "running chance." Unfortunately, action buffs won't give this movie much of a chance. Rod Steiger plays an ex-Confederate who hates the U.S. and decides to become a Sioux. If you think this film sounds like "Dances with Wolves," you're right on the money. And like "Dances with Wolves," this western is slow and could have used a few more fight scenes. The "run of the arrow" scene is exciting, but it is the climax. And climaxes aren't supposed to come at the beginning of a movie. The biggest problem area is the sloppy quality of the scenes. The voices are dubbed poorly, the scenes are cut horribly, and the movie just flows badly, almost like parts are missing. Still, there are a few bright spots. A young, and super in-shape, Charles Bronson plays a pretty decent Indian chief. And if you can wait for it, the ending is very fitting.

Idont like this movie , i saw this movie only because sarita montiel was in it , she play an Indian and some of the review said the pretty Mexican actress please She was born in Campo de Criptana in the region of Castile-La Mancha in 1928 as María Antonia Abad (complete name María Antonia Alejandra Vicenta Elpidia Isidora Abad Fernández). After her unprecedented international hit in Juan de Orduña's El Último Cuplé in 1957, Montiel achieved the status of mega-star in Europe and Latin America. She was the first woman to distill sex openly in Spanish cinema at a time when even a low cut dress was not acceptable.sarita was not Mexican and she became the biggest European star of the cinema after Brigitte Bardot and today she make fun of American she said back in the 50s the American were so ignorant they don't know the different between Spain and Mexico they don't even know where Spain was located,Sarita thank god went back to Europe and the rest is history, BY THE WAY BACK THEN SHE WAS MARRIED TO ANTHONY MANN

Rod Steiger's accent is so bad I didn't realise until some way into this picture that he was supposed to be Irish.German?Polish...Lithuanian?He certainly had me guessing I can tell you.Fortunately when he got to make "Henderson" 18 years later he got the Belfast accent down a lot better. Being a Reb does have a certain romance to it I suppose,fields full of waving cotton, ante - bellum houses just like "Tara",blinding white in the Southern sun,slaves singing in their quarters........sorry, my pity for the beaten Confederacy is strictly limited.And,of course,being an Irishman,he would be a natural reb anyway,so he would.Mr Steiger,when I finally sorted his accent out,is portraying a glorious double - cliché figure,a man without a country who,even if he had a home,wouldn't want to go back there. He marries the Indian woman who saves his life (the way you do),becomes accepted in the tribe and represents the Sioux nation in talks with the treacherous white eyes.After lots of adventures he decides he doesn't fit into either culture and wanders off with his family and some survivors of the U.S. Army unit his erstwhile people have pretty much slaughtered.That's "Run of the arrow" for you.Jay C.Flippen,one of the best known Western character actors plays an Indian scout with a ludicrous syrup.Where's the respect for Native American culture there? He looks as embarrassed as I felt watching him.The voice of Steiger's wife is dubbed by Angie Dickinson.Charles Bronson - under gleaming gold make up - plays a Polish Indian chief . Samuel Fuller,beloved of the auteurists,was a good pro who did what he had to do and,if he could,did at least a bit of it his way. Unfortunately for "Run of the Arrow",not much of it was done his way.

When Samuel Fuller convinced R.K.O. to make this film they wanted Gary Cooper for the main role. Fuller stated that he wanted a loser, not a hero. Rod Steiger was chosen but Fuller had quite a hard time with him, because Steiger wanted to do the scenes his way. It was quite a battle of personalities. Steiger is a confederate soldier with an Irish accent, who cannot conform to the fact that he lost the war. A man tells him that many like him have gone to South America, but Steiger decides to stay and joins the Sioux, thinking that because they have a common enemy, they are alike. He marries Sarita Montiel,who did not speak much English, so they had to use Angie Dickinson's voice in all her scenes. The Sioux chief is Charles Bronson. Through the film we see the interesting ceremony of the "run of the arrow" a couple of times. The film end abruptly, even though it shows very well its story and the conflicting feelings of Steiger. It could have been a budget cut, but considering Fuller's constant search for originality, both factors counted.
