Going Home

Mitchum is brilliant
This is one of the hardest Robert Mitchum films to find, so I was excited to see it available at last. Mitchum is brilliant, as usual, in this. The film is not for the faint of heart--it's an intense film full of sadness, with some brutal moments. Mitchum was really on a roll with this film, "The Yakuza," "The Friends Of Eddie Coyle," etc.

Tony Land's review
If you're a Robert Mitchum fan you'll enjoy this movie, it's quite a sad, involved plot, not one that will appeal to everyone, but it does keep your interest. The support actors Jan Michael Vincent and Brenda Vaccaro do a fine job and as usual Robert Mitchum acts the part to perfection. I can understand why this movie never went down as a main line movie basically because the subject matter is not a pleasant one, but as they say these things do happen in life and the difficult story is handled quite well. You could say it's a thought provoking film. Definitely worth watching in my view.

Good movie
A very tense drama. Both Robert Mitchum & Jan Michael Vincent played their roles really well. The movie definitely showed how violence destroys families & individuals, especially when the anger & rage go unchecked for years as it did with Jan Michael Vincent's character toward the end of the movie. The poor guy should have gotten some help with all he was having to deal with, but they just basically kept him in an orphanage until he was old enough to leave & he had to deal with all that stuff on his own. Not a good combination. All in all, it was a good movie.
