The Last Manhunt

I can understand some of the other reviews if this is the first time you've heard of Willie Boy. First of all the scenery alone was awesome and genuine. Having lived by Gilman Ranch and hearing of Willie Boy in 1991, reading Mr. Lawton's book, then watching the previous movie, it was so refreshing to see this story told from a native point of view. I appreciated the fact the characters were not based on fiction but on what limited facts have survived, even if that hindered character development. I would trust oral histories passed down through generations before news reporters concocting yet another fairy tale. It's about time!

I loved this movie! It delves more into the native American's backstory and customs than the Robert Redford version did. It is a beautifully shot movie, showing big expansive desert views, with an excellent soundtrack keeping the mood set throughout the movie. To me, the musical accompaniment is as important to this movie as any character. Everyone does an excellent acting job, and it really makes the unfolding story believable the whole way through.

There are some bad reviews that complain about the lack of action, but this being a more faithful telling of a true story, there were no big, high body-count, gun fights to throw in. It's a simple, true story of two lovers on the run, being pursued by a group of different men who are there for different reasons. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Well 8 bc i liked the movie but i felt something is missing. Maybe a bit more action or more dialogue with boy's grandma or with tribe? As a European, I enjoyed it. Desert, native Americans, cowboys are unfamiliar for us so western movies are pretty interesting. The scenery was amazing, the movie is slow with few dialogs but its ok for me. Its western. The cast was solid and I liked the atmospheric scenes too. Jason had only 3 scenes indeed but I didn't mind that either. We need more movies like this. This movie hasn't much action so I recommend to people who want to watch a beautiful /dramatic story......

Whoever marketed this film needs to be reprimanded. This film has all the hallmarks of old classic storytelling. Slow paced retelling of historical dramas. With Arthouse direction and raw cinematography. It wasn't a masterpiece. But it wasn't supposed to be either. It was a gritty Period Drama.

This films posters have Momoa front and centre and I think that did it a disservice, he cameo'd in a film he co-wrote and that's about all. And the story was served by that decision. It was supposed to be about the story and not a Hollywood lead.

Go into this film expecting a Romeo and Juliet type tragedy and you'll be set. This is not about action, it's about contemplation. In many ways it serves as a neat last rites to the dying Wild West.

This film is very slow paced and its style serves no purpose besides to drag out a story that is boring and doesn't even make sense at times. It doesn't have a lot of bad acting, but it's not good either. Their are some fairly notable actors who fail to deliver anything good due to a horrible script. It seems majority of the film is just characters walking around in the desert and somehow the main characters seem to barely have any dialogue. Especially Jason Mamoa. His character, Jim, is in the film for what felt like a total of 5 minutes and he served no purpose and added nothing to the story. At times it's hard to even tell weather Carlota and Willie Boy are actually meant to be the main focus. The film lacks to provide any depth. A lot of times characters pasts are referenced and spoken about but never actually shown. A large portion of the film that was wasted with scenes of just wandering the desert, could have been used to provide some backstory to these characters that seemingly took most of the screen time. However, the cinematography for this film was quite beautiful. It was the only memorable part of the film.

Besides the reading on - screen facts at the end of the film, this movie is not interesting at all, and is not one I would recommend you waste your time watching. 3/10.
