Featured reviews
I have a soft spot for Western movies - the genre itself is something I grew up with. Well that and Eastern Martial Arts movies. On the other hand I have been accused of being too nice when rating and reviewing movies. Which I think is mostly correct - with a few exceptions of course. But even if I don't like a movie, I try to see broader view and how it may be perceived.
Having said all that, this movie right here has some really nice production values (considering the budget it probably was made with). Add to that a script that does challenge its actors to perform. And while I understand that some may feel differently and there are moments that might make you cringe, overall that works too.
While it has a lot of dialog (too much I reckon for some), it also goes all the way when it comes to violence (blood) and nudity too. Something to consider one way or the other.

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.
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....
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.
