Never Grow Old

If your looking for a good quick western this is good. Kids characters i think weren't written for the day but that's it. I dont know why this is rated by viewers so low. Currently at 5.8, not a must see but not a 5.8 either.

This is a grim portrayal of the Old West. The life is hard; so, temptations for spending money and wild times take over the innocents. Abuse and death runs high. There is no comedy here. Enjoy.

This is a Western with an element of horror.

You can feel the fear of the main character in his dealings with the trio of villains. Many of the scenes happen after dark and the ground is always muddy. Several times we see the people who were killed by the trio having their bodies washed by the undertaker and lowered into a grave.

Not a bad western, a bit different than most. Worth a watch.

This was a bleak movie, yes. Emile Hirsch also had a terrible Irish accent. But despite some of the more obvious gripes about the movie, this one is well worth the watch.

Sure, the whole undertaker thing might be a little on the nose, but I love the lessons in supply and demand: Cusack kills, Hirsch buries, and suddenly the Californian gold rush comes to a nowhere town.

Another interesting dynamic was the shifting power dynamics between the sheriff, the priest, and the outlaw.

In my opinion this film is thoughtful, entertaining, somewhat well-acted, and well worth the invested time.

John cuzac seems to have gone the same way as Bruce Willis and Nick cage, in that he's taking a lot of crap for a wage. Usually I cringe at most of his films now, particularly as he continues to insist on dyeing his hair raven black, but he's actually amazing in this. He obviously had a lot of fun as the bad guy, as he slimes his way into a god fearing town. Emile does a stunning job of portraying conflict as the town's grave digger and coffin maker. It was a slow simmering film, with some obvious plot points and z few surprises along the way.
