Probably Brandos best film ever. His acting brings you into the movie with him. Passionate and heartbreaking. A MUST WATCH CLASSIC. 10/10

Brando sets up a new era for acting. Though I will say the score is sometimes so blaringly loud it makes dialogue nearly incomprehensible.

Marlon Brando delivers one of the great performances on film ever. Kazan delivers a extraordinary story through ordinary characters.

This is a very powerful film showing that you can stand up to those in power and win. It still resonates after all these years.
