I enjoyed the movie. The cast is fantastic, featuring Brandon Lessard, Samuel L. Jackson, Pierce Brosnan, and Veronica Ferres. The plot follows a classic Western theme where a son seeks revenge for his father's hanging by a corrupt sheriff. However, it includes some intriguing twists and well-rounded characters. There's no clear-cut villain; everyone has their own justified motives. I particularly liked the character development of young Henry Broadway (Brandon Lessard), who is innocently drawn into the adventure and faces constant moral dilemmas. Samuel L. Jackson's portrayal of the dubious St. Christopher is also a standout.
The film's setting in Montana is stunning, with innovative camerawork in the fight scenes. It has some humorous moments and isn't overly violent. While the story has minor plot holes and some characters develop (too) quickly and make irrational choices, these don't detract significantly from the overall experience. Some critics mentioned the varied "dialects" due to the international cast, but the movie explains each character's background well enough. Considering the diverse immigrant population in the 1870s West, this aspect feels authentic and isn't a dealbreaker.

Thoroughly enjoyed this film, set in stunning Montana in the 1880s. Well cast characters who bring their own backgrounds to the story and add to the authenticity of a young USA still developing. I especially appreciated that the actors and actresses used their own natural accents to emphasise that the USA back then was even more a land of immigrants than it is now, with no homogenised American accent, so Veronica Ferres spoke with her own German accent, Pierce Brosnan with his Irish brogue and Samuel L Jackson with his deep south accent.
The story line made sense with interesting twists and turns to keep the audience paying attention, with enough humour to lighten the load, and violence to keep people alert.
All in all a very good film.

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.

It looks about authentic as a £3 note, to be honest!
The budget for this must have been miniscule!
One saving grace is that I downloaded it from the Torrent, so no actual hard cash was lost in the viewing....just precious time.
I couldn't help but compare this to Tarantino's Hateful Eight.....and its like night and day.
Samuel L must be hard up for funds these days!
It's just cheaply done, and it shows.
I have to admit I was looking forward to watching this, but it's truly awful!
As a few reviewers have already alluded to, do not waste your time, or hard earned money on this turkey!
I gave it one out of pity.....
