Featured reviews
The opening scene does promise a very good movie. But movies can be illusive.
The story line is thin, but ok enough, there are more movies which are good enough with a thin story.
The lack of continuity is a problem in this movie. Also some sequences are cut very strangely, if there are a sort of pauzes in a supposed fast shooting scene. Most prominent in the sequence (1:15:45) when they are in a small room, with the girl on the bed, what then happens lags flow totally. Also in that same sequence the foley sounds are mainly terrible absent. Then the sound track is mainly absent or present but with the wrong music.
Finally, the movie suffers also from the directing skills.
Still it can be an interesting movie to watch for film academy students to figure out about what exactly is wrong with this movie.

So hungry for a good western! In the mean time, I guess this will do. It had its moments and was overall entertaining. It meets the COVID19 stay at home watchable....
I had the chance to sit down and watch the 2019 Western movie "Eminence Hill" here in 2021, as I stumbled upon the movie by sheer, random chance. And seeing that the movie's cover had Lance Henriksen, Barry Corbin and Dominique Swain on the cover, I must say that I was interested in seeing it, especially because of Lance Henriksen.
The storyline told in "Eminence Hill", as written by Robert Conway and Owen Conway, was actually adequate. It wasn't a movie that had me overly impressed. But I will say that I was adequately entertained by what the movie turned out to be.
However, Lance Henriksen was in the movie for maybe a full minute or so. So having him on the movie's cover was just an awful way of luring people in to watching it with putting a familiar face there. Hey, it worked. I picked the movie up, didn't I?
Director Robert Conway managed to make the movie feel like an old fashioned Western, so that was definitely something that worked in favor of the movie.
While "Eminence Hill" was a watchable movie, it was hardly an outstanding or memorable Western. Nor is it a movie that warrants more than a single viewing. Though I think that for the true hardcore fans of the Western genre, then a movie such as "Eminence Hill" will bring proper entertainment.
My rating of "Eminence Hill" lands on a bland five out of ten stars.

This film is pretty well acted and intense. The profanity is gratuitous, excessive, and extreme; really feels out of place in a western. It seems that today's movie makers believe they have an obligation to use as many obscenities as possible. If the profanity were to be cut out, the film would probably be half an hour shorter. Still an intense movie with good performances. Keeps you watching.
