VHS Movie Reviews of Mr Majestyk [VHS]
Movie Review: The Watermelon Man
Summary: 3 Stars
"Mr. Majestyk" is a classic of sorts in that it's the only film in history (of which I'm aware) to portray a watermelon farmer as the hero. Watermelons suffer the most during the violent moments in this Elmore Leonard penned film when bad guy Al Lettieri's thugs blast Charles Bronson's crop with machine gun fire, but Bronson gets his revenge in a memorable finale.
I found it a little hard to believe that mob hitman Lettieri would be so determined to avenge himself against Bronson rather than flee to safety when he had the chance, but otherwise this is a pretty good '70s action pic, one that gives the usually stoic star more dialogue than usual. He even gets a rare chance to display a sense of humor in several scenes. It's also nice to see the beautiful Linda Cristal, best known for TV's "The High Chaparral," as Bronson's love interest.

Movie Review: Classic
Summary: 4 Stars
It's Charles Bronson being Charles Bronsony -- the story/acting is sometimes corny, but in the end, if you even have an inkling to see this movie, then you'll probably get a kick out of it.
Great ending.
Movie Review: One of Bronson's Best
Summary: 5 Stars
A good story line with Bronson at his best. A farmer who just wants to have his crop picked, who gets drawn into a jailbreak with one of moviedom's best "bad" guy's Al Lettieri, think of Solotso from the Godfather. Good action and a fine ending. If you like Bronson you'll love this movie.Movie Review: Mr. Majestyk will get his watermelon crop in or else!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a classic 70's shoot'em up starring Charles Bronson. Bronson plays the title character, a watermelon farmer, whose life is depending getting his crop in.
In this film we have car chases, and action from start to finish. When this film is over, any crook out there will know, not to Mess with Majestyk. A must for any Bronson fan.
Movie Review: one of Chuck's finest...
Summary: 4 Stars
i remember going to see this movie as a kid, and it was the first real exposure i had to on screen violence. that may sound like an odd opening statement for a review, but that's basically what i felt at that time. it was the first movie that i saw in a theater that was not a comedy or kid's movie. it was my indoctrination to the real world, as it were, as this story is of an avg. guy (Bronson), trying to make a nice life of farming, after his stint in Nam, but finding it as life threatening as the war itself. a story that is not far fetched in any way, and superbly executed by Bronson and the cast. Al Lettieri, the '70's bad guy dujour, does a wonderful performance as the mobbed up hit man, who sets his vengeful sites on Majestyk after a run in with him. other recognizable faces abound in this picture, mostly of '70's movie fame, which if you have never seen the film, lends creedence, and a nice nostalgic touch. although this film is rated higher than Bronson's '75 "Breakout", i like that one a little better. check 'em both out, you will enjoy the ride. peace.
