Written (along with his brother) and directed by Lawrence Kasdan (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Wyatt Earp), Silverado is one Western that remounts to the golden age of westerns - when I had put the movie on my to watch list, I surely thought it was some lost western from the 70´s.

But alas, no it was a mid-80's to 90's transition movie what gave me some concerns, that proved wrong otherwise. The director doesn't have so many hits in his career other that RotLA, but it is simple in screenplay but not naive as most of the 50-60's westerns with some greater tone on violence and blood.

It tells the story of 4 cowboys, two of them brothers, united by their own reasons, they being played by Kevin Kline and Kevin Costner, a black man with a vow of vengeance Danny Glover (that points the story around the 1870-80) and the lone wolf Scott Glenn that saves the first one that lead to encounters with the others..

The way off all 4 points to the city of Silverado, on which an ex-"friend" of Scott is the ruthless and abusive sheriff (Brian Dennehy, one of the best roles on the movie along with the saloon owner Linda Hunt - another great star on the movie, with just 1,45cm height that you have seen and heard many times in your live I assure you).

The movie for sure have its share of action and relations betweens characters, and a degree of violence that differentiate it of older westerns.

I gave to the movie a 7,5 out of 10,0 score / B + . If you like Westerns it sure worths your time - being on Criterion collection it can shows that it is worth it.
