Compared to the movies of today, this holds up really well. A breath of fresh air from a good classic. Water is more valuable than gold when your'e a hundred miles from nowhere.

John Huston's classic tale of greed, features one of Humphrey Bogart's best performances. His journey from likeable loser to vulgar, pathetic psycho, driven by a lust for gold, is remarkable, sobering, and disturbing

The treasures of the movie are the acting performances of Bogart and Huston in this neo-Western journey full of twists and turns about a gold hunt in the mountains of Mexico, set in the 1920s. A pleasurable watch.

The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre

4 Out Of 5

The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre is a tale about three partners going after the treasure and the irrevocable journey or adventure that it brings along with it. The inner politics depicted among the greedy friends and the good old "morality" conflicts that it raises, is the ingenious yet simply sensible take of the makers especially when the heat is communicated directly to the audience, it gets better as it ages on screen. It is rich on technical aspects like sound effects, background score, editing and art design. The primary reason the feature offers a satisfactory outcome is that not only is it unpredictable but is justifying with genuine reasoning which is the soul in here. The structure of the script may be familiar but its additional and side characters does make it worth keeping the audience engaged offering them enough work and art to explore in it. John Houston; the screenwriter-director, uses its smart adaptation wisely and brilliant execution skills on creating the anticipated vision on screen. The performance is decently acted by Humphrey Bogart and Tim Holt but the real gem of the feature is Walter Houston who gives a memorable performance as a supporting cast. The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre is an interesting take on morality while procrastinating the humane accuracy and lunacy on its backdrop that ticks loud and clear all through the way.… Expand

A great showcase of masculinity and male ignorance without a slight trace of women.

Une vieillerie chiante comme la pluie et pour cause, il s’agit d’une daube de John Huston, spécialiste émérite en la matière, la matière dont sont faites les daubes cinemerdographiques, à savoir les sales films de merde dont il avait leUne vieillerie chiante comme la pluie et pour cause, il s’agit d’une daube de John Huston, spécialiste émérite en la matière, la matière dont sont faites les daubes cinemerdographiques, à savoir les sales films de merde dont il avait le secret mais aussi la recette imparable !

Aussi, ne sommes-nous point étonné de nous endormir dès les premières minutes du film, un film incongru d’ailleurs, vu que les immigrés ici sont américains et émigrent… vers le Mexique ! on est dans les années 20 mais quand même, la grande dépression n’est pas encore là.

On y suit en tout cas l’excellent Bogart en clodo involontaire qui rame comme un crevard et traîne dans le pays sous-développé comme uin traîne-savate en compagnie d’ailleurs d’autres ‘compatriotes’ même si certains ont réussi et pètent dans la soie… quoi qu’il en soit, le voici qui se remet au boulot et s’en va chercher un trésor dans la Sierra Madre à ce qu’il paraît…

Mais nous avons déjà arrêté les frais depuis longtemps (déjà), car cette chienlit est d’une lenteur à faire mourir de honte une tortue fatiguée ! à laquelle nous pissons à la raie (si elle avait une raie) parce que franchement (avec l’accent très marseillais) on s’en bat les couilles de tout ça et notamment des sales films de merde. Dommage pour Bogart mais de toute évidence, tout le monde peut se tromper. D’ailleurs, je crois bien qu’il ne roulait pas en Golf.… Expand

Incredible adventure. Simultaneously exciting and realistic, depicting the truth of human behavior at that time.
