The Unholy Trinity

It's honestly one of the worst movies I've ever seen in a theater. Zero character development - a shoot from the hip story line that you figure out when they do and people getting shot for some reason and nobody cares least of all me. I am a forgiving moviegoer and couldn't have been more disappointed.

I am a fan of all the major actors and I understand sometimes you just need a paycheck but I can't imagine these guys would? Who knows- the female characters were all laughable and everyone was also just such a cliche of a character in a western movie - they would have been better off making it a spoof because I actually laughed when people were killed off. I never even write reviews but I hate wasting money and I LOVE going to the theatre. Next time I'll wait for other people to waste their money and benefit from their reviews.

I normally don't watch movies like this, but the opening scene led me to expect more from the narrative. It's an okay story with elements of western movies from days past.

The action was decent, though most of the cast isn't memorable. Maybe I'm alone in feeling this way however many characters lacked development or seemed flat. I personally don't care for the main character, he's too bland for my taste.

Despite the movie's shortcomings I still appreciate an attempt to do something "new". It's a short movie and that's perfectly fine. The fact they didn't pad it into 2hrs or more is great, because brevity works here. This isn't a must see in my book but a fun watch nonetheless. It had a few funny moments.

Growing up watching reruns of "The Big Valley" and "Gunsmoke" and westerns from the 60's and 70's, this movie had a similar feel. The scenery and sets were well done. Samuel L Jackson and Pierce Brosnan were good in their parts. Samuel L. Jackson was particularly good at playing a self-centered character and playing it in a way that he does very well. The supporting cast was solid albeit they their two-dimensional character development left them with not a lot to work with. The story and character development could have been a bit better. The motivations of certain characters were either never explained or fell short in advancing the overall story.

Overall it was a decent film.

While Westerns is not my go-to type of genre for entertainment in movies, I do occasionally sit down to watch one. And stumbling upon the 2024 Western and seeing who starred in it, of course I opted to check out what director Richard Gray had to offer.

The storyline in the movie was good, and I was genuinely entertained throughout the course of the 94 minutes that the movie ran for. Writer Lee Zachariah put together an enjoyable and entertaining script and storyline.

The acting performances in "The Unholy Trinity" were good, but of course with the likes of Pierce Brosnan and Samuel L. Jackson on the cast list, then you're in good company. There are a couple other familiar faces on the cast list as well, such as David Arquette, Gianni Capaldi and Katrina Bowden.

The movie definitely looked and felt like a proper era-based Western movie, and that certainly added to the overall enjoyment of the movie.

I will say that "The Unholy Trinity" is a movie that is well-worth watching, especially if you enjoy Westerns in general.

My rating of director Richard Gray's 2024 movie "The Unholy Trinity" lands on a six out of ten stars.

My title speaks for itself , those are some really big names and so I was anxious to see it and they both, Jackson , Brosnan deliver. But the the script is tacky, no, cringe worthy. Predictable and sappy. I thought I was watching a bad soap opera despite all the mayhem, killing and violence. The story at first glance should have had lots of suspense, like you can't look away, I couldn't wait to get away, no suspense here dear reader. The production design was not even at an amateur's level. I do not know the budget for this film was but somebody somewhere must be feeling some buyer's remorse : I know I am for the time and money . . . I . . . Expended. Steer clear.
