- Russell SJune 24, 2025Despite the fact that most critics thought this was an attempt to ripoff Tarantino, this is a modern "Spaghetti Western", and it excels at it! This is one of my favorite movies of all time! While it was relatively low budget, it has an amazing cast, great acting, original plot (which seems rarer and rarer), and top-notch gun choreography.
- Christopher KingSeptember 28, 2025There is not a lot of direct exposition from the characters to explain all the facets of what's happening. The viewer needs to pay attention to the subtext to get all the details that a clumsier film would have a character 'explain' to someone to help the audience keep up. If you don't like it, or don't understand what's happening, it's because this movie is smarter than you. You have to work to understand this movie, it's not going to hand you anything. Expecting this movie to meet you where you are makes you as simple and presumptuous as Theodore Donald Kerabatsos, a simple babe in the woods with no idea what's actually happening. Life doesn't stop and start when you decide to show up. YOU have to pay attention.
