ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

alexanderdavies-99382 Marlon Brando was in the middle of his lean period when he made this World War Two thriller. "Morituri" did little to revive him as the film flopped when it came out in 1965. I am hardly surprised by this! The story on the written page looked quite interesting, no doubt. The final results are a right shambles. The main problem with this movie, is the lack of a coherent narrative. After about the opening 15 minutes, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep up with what is meant to be happening. Marlon Brando is cast as another German character who is ordered by British Intelligence to capture a particular vessel which is set to be dynamited. Brando needs to prevent this. Trevor Howard - in a couple of brief scenes - is the one who liasons with Brando at the beginning. The British actor should have been given more screen time. Yul Brynner is his usual robotic self as the ship's captain. I found myself having to guess what was occurring from one scene to the next and most of the film is restricted to being set and filmed on the ship. Long before the end (and it seemed interminable), I gave up on this rambling mess.

mifbaldwin Unbelievably good direction of camera crew. Fantastic helicopter shots with NO CGI! Inside the ship, closeups turning into wide shots back to closeups of other people. Brando is very good but watch Brynner talking about his cigar - what a master. Wally Cox should have been nominated for an Oscar. especially if you have seen his later films and TV shows. But it is the direction (Bernard Wicki) of the camera work that is the reason all movie buffs should watch this twice. Amazing work.

Tracy Winters Dumb espionage flick with Marlon Brando running around cutting ship wires and lying through his dippy German accent on the way to the close-up showing his pained reaction to a Jewish woman explaining how terribly her people were persecuted.I don't know if the film was trying to be 'complicated', but if it was, than director Bernie Wicki failed miserably, because this tripe is rather easy to follow. Of course, any character here who's supposed to be 'good' is sympathetic to the Jews. God forbid Hollywood (which is Jewish-owned and operated) look at history from a Nazi's viewpoint.Mostly boring film bloated with the presence of 'big' names like Brando, Trevor Howard, and Yul Brynner. Boo-hoo.

donwords Don't know how anyone managed to make a crappy movie with such a good cast. The kindest thing I have to say about this movie is that it helped me get to sleep the night I watched it. Marlon Brando, Yul Brynner, Trevor Howard. All great actors but given this mishmash of a script even they couldn't save this turkey. Do yourself a favor and give this movie a pass. Janet Margolin was the only female in the cast, and she seems to just have been stuck in there as filler material. She really didn't factor in the story except to demonstrate how brutal and thuggish men can be with a helpless female. Anyway, a great waste of talent. Not my cup of tea at all.
