Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

bkoganbing Borrowing from his portrayal of Old Man Clanton in My Darling Clementine, Walter Brennan dominates this film as the mean and merciless head of an outlaw family. It seems that Brennan at one time was the local Ben Cartwright, but little by little the homesteaders and small ranches have nibbled him down to little by his standards. So he and his two outlaw sons Jim Davis and Jack Lambert have been plying the outlaw trade going after them with some cattle rustling and other forms of criminal enterprise.The general outlaw situation has a lot of people mighty of suspicious of sheriff Forrest Tucker and deputy Guinn Williams. Federal Marshal Jack Holt arrives on the scene, but he's wounded in a stagecoach holdup and not able to do too much.Into all this mix is a mysterious loner played by Rod Cameron who looks like he's trying to cut himself in on everybody's action, Brennan's and Tucker's. When you're not watching Brennan, Cameron's the one that should be paid attention.Brennan had a very bad time with John Ford when he made My Darling Clementine, but Ford got a great performance from him. I think Brennan channeled a lot of that into his role here of Brimstone Courteen.This is a great action western from Republic with quite a bit more plot to it than the usual Republic product for the Saturday afternoon kid market. And you'll not forget Walter Brennan in the title role.

alexandre michel liberman (tmwest) Almost all of Rod Cameron's westerns ("Salome Where she Danced" an exception) were a full package: good western stories, always a bit too much for the time the movie ran, you had to concentrate otherwise you would miss; plenty of action scenes, shootouts, fistfights, horse and stagecoach chases, you left the movie theater satisfied. In "Brimstone" we have Brimstone "Pop" Courteen and his sons, played by Walter Brennan, the same character as in "My Darling Clementine", who gives life to the movie. Brennan and family are the masked robbers, who are robbed by another masked robber, that's the best part of the film. Good comic scenes of Brennan with an idiotic son, which he barely tolerates. The film would be better in black and white, colors are artificial and ugly. Resuming, this is a typical Cameron western, not as good as "Ride the Man Down", "Panhandle" or "San Antone", but still satisfactory for western lovers.

larryblanks This is one of the B Western films that has everything, great stars, great plot, surprises, good guys, bad guys, etc.Brennen does an excellent job as Brimstone, a grizley old man that is bad to the bone and expects his moron sons to be just as bad. The exception being James Brown.Rod Cameron plays a great part but in my opinion, Guinn "Big Boy" Williams steals the show."Gracious, I always talk Spanish when I'm eatin', makes the food taste better"Watch it, tape it and watch it again. You'll always find some hidden part or line that'll connect for you.

volker-9 *Stagecoach* used to be my favorite Western, but *Brimstone* may supplant it. Brimstone has no intellectual pretensions, but it's a perfect distillation of all cowboy movies. Every line is a great cliche.
