This movie was very good. It has all the elements of great film making. A beginning, middle and an end. Kurt Russell (who is nothing short of a genius) played. Sheriff in this western. The dad from Six Feet Under was the old sheriff deputy named Chickory. They try to find a wife who got kidnapped by cannibalistic Indians. One of the guys (the husband) had a broken leg and found it difficult to walk. The way Kurt Russell treated everybody was very much in the same vein as his Wyatt Earp character. The cannibals were extremely gruesome. At one one point the cannibal slices an incision into Kurt Russell's belly and sticks a red hot WHISKEY FLASK into the wound. The flask was taken out of a fire! In another scene, the cannibals scalp somebody and HACK HIM upside down and pull him in half like a wishbone! This is easily the best western I have ever seen.
I liked this movie. Lord Dementus stole the show. Chris Helmsworth (who is nothing short of a genius) played Lord Dementus. Nothing is really said about the past of Lord Dementus but he was the enemy of Postmortem Joe. The humor of Lord Dementus was funny also. Lord Dementus was always making funny comments. It's almost as if it was dark humor. I really liked the dynamic between Furiosa and Lord Dementus. At first I thought Lord Dementus was going to be cruel to Furiosa but he saw her as his own daughter. But I am curious about the orgins of Lord Dementus. Where did he come from? What is his backstory? It's not really explained in the movie. I hope Lord Dementus get his own movie. Like a prequel.
I was very glad to see that ROADHOUSE was getting re-made and available on PRIME! 43 year old Jake Gyllenhaal not only delivers the goods as DALTON, but he does so on all cylinders! Jake Gyllenhaal must have worked out a ton to prepare for this role. I have never seen Jake Gyllenhaal so in shape. Conner McGregor was good as the bad guy! He has a lot of great lies! Such as "Our own private OCTAGON!" and "I hate this song!! (as he tries to beat up the band). The owner of ROADHOUSE just calls her place ROADHOUSE instead of the DOUBLE DEUCE. Also, the guy who plays EZ from Mayans is in this movie! He and Jake Gyllenhaal get into fights at lot! So, if want to see Jake Gyllenhaal fight a lot, DO NOT miss this movie.
