    A Western That Rides on Star Power

    Old-school West meets new-school star power... The Unholy Trinity brings Pierce Brosnan and Samuel L. Jackson to Montana circa 1870s for a revenge tale that aims high but rarely lands squarely. Go in without high expectations and you won't be disappointed!

    Samuel L. Jackson is predictably magnetic as St. Christopher, the sly outsider with murky motives - he steals nearly every scene. Brosnan grounds the film with quiet gravitas as Sheriff Gabriel Dove, the moral centre in a world unraveling. Both performances elevate what might've otherwise been a dusty B-movie.

    Brandon Lessard plays the lead Henry Broadway, the young man sent to avenge his father's framed death. He's earnest, but overshadowed - the spotlight always drifts back to Jackson's smile or Brosnan's brogue. Q'orianka Kilcher shines as Running Cub, a Native woman spurned by town politics, though her arc barely escapes tokenism.

    Richard Gray's direction favours slow-burning atmosphere over big shoot-outs: bleak plains, candlelit saloons, stiff jawlines. It's moody and visually consistent, though the pace sometimes drags through predictable betrayals and subplots (treasure hunts, double-crosses, lynch mobs) without surprising enough.

    The screenplay reaches for moral ambiguity and revenge cycles, but gets tangled. Several threads feel underexplored. Yet, at a brisk 93 minutes it rarely overstays its welcome.

    Verdict: A serviceable, occasionally stirring Western saved by star charisma and tone. Not a classic, but for lovers of traditional oaters, it's decent enough cinema. 6.5/10.

    Temper expectations

    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 was good...

    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.

    To be honest I'm pretty disappointed

    I know it is matter of taste, however if be fair this movie does not earn more than 3*

    Probably Samuel L Jackson has far more the best performance from the rest of the main characters, however as the story was very badly executed (although the story was not too bad), he could also not able to save the film. I really do not want to be very harsh, therefore I'll not mention about the performance of the rest of the casting crew.

    Other problem was that the dialect of English. Of course except Pierce Brosnan, Samuel L. Jackson and Brandon Lessard, dialect was terrible. I had never have a feeling any part of the movie that they shot this film in USA, although knowing that location was at Rocky Mountains, however because of the lack of quality of the costumes and dialect you feel like location was somewhere in Europe or England.

    Picture quality was also not good especially there were some shootings where you can see easily the corruption of the color in the sky.

    I'm terribly sorry to write this above, however this is as it is from my side. If someone likes this movie, I'm fine with that as said it is matter of taste.

    Cheers,

    Hope Zurich/Switzerland.

    Exactly what you expect it to be.

    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.
