Never Grow Old

I don't think this movie got a wide release as i only found out about it browsing Google for lesser known new movies. It's beautifully shot with a cool grim tone throughout and everyone delivers a strong performance. Emile Hirsch is an actor who i've always thought should have been a bigger star, he's great in movies like Killer Joe and In To The Wild, he can easily lead a movie. John Cusack leaves a strong impression as i don't recall seeing him playing a bad guy before. He's cold and obviously has no care for anyone but himself, he will kill you if he feels like it at the time or he might not, he's unpredictable. It's also refreshing to see a western based around an undertaker. Most westerns have one but they're mostly a side character or less. It gives the movie a more down to Earth and realistic feel which i really like. Definitely an underrated movie, go see it.

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.

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.

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.

Well, i just witnessed one of the best & an underrated western thriller of 2019. Cold blooded Murdering act,Greedy selfish act,all was perfectly executed by both Emile & John. Great BGM, Cinematography & Good Direction.
