1. VERY Overrated - Bad Day at Black Rock (1955) Discussion | MovieChat
I can see why some may think "Bad Day at Black Rock" was overrated, I suppose. Considering the all-star cast, one might have expected a little more to the movie ...
I was really looking forward to seeing this film. Great cast, a lot of people writing about how great the movie is, then.......................F-I-Z-Z-L-E!
It really surprised me how terrible this film is. I expected so much more with all of the endorsements and so many actors that I've thoroughly enjoyed in many other films.
I understand that a lot of people think this film is terrific and that's fine, they certainly are entitled to their opinion, likes and dislikes. I just don't understand what the "WOW!" factor is about this film.

As Macreedy's investigation deepens, hostility turns to violence -- and to imminent danger for the mysterious and inquisitive stranger.
