La ultima cacería

Well 8 bc i liked the movie but i felt something is missing. Maybe a bit more action or more dialogue with boy's grandma or with tribe? As a European, I enjoyed it. Desert, native Americans, cowboys are unfamiliar for us so western movies are pretty interesting. The scenery was amazing, the movie is slow with few dialogs but its ok for me. Its western. The cast was solid and I liked the atmospheric scenes too. Jason had only 3 scenes indeed but I didn't mind that either. We need more movies like this. This movie hasn't much action so I recommend to people who want to watch a beautiful /dramatic story......

I was a little confused at first because I didn't recognise the format or genre but gradually as the film played out I began to see it's meaning.

We have grown accustomed to many stereotypes in Westerns and I'm always looking for films that try to portray a more realistic narrative. There are some fairly decent performances in this film and the simple story is reasonably well told but of course some of the actors based their performances on fiction instead of reality which distracts from the overall experience. However this does tend to work in concept and I can see why it was tolerated. It's not easy to develop character profiles without recognisable stereotypes but it would be possible with a good director and better script.

Without a little artistic license this wouldn't be much of a story and certainly not worth making a film of, there is one sentence in text at the beginning and another sentence at the end and that is what the whole film is based around.

Not a blockbuster, more of a curiosity but worth watching in it's own right.

This film is very slow paced and its style serves no purpose besides to drag out a story that is boring and doesn't even make sense at times. It doesn't have a lot of bad acting, but it's not good either. Their are some fairly notable actors who fail to deliver anything good due to a horrible script. It seems majority of the film is just characters walking around in the desert and somehow the main characters seem to barely have any dialogue. Especially Jason Mamoa. His character, Jim, is in the film for what felt like a total of 5 minutes and he served no purpose and added nothing to the story. At times it's hard to even tell weather Carlota and Willie Boy are actually meant to be the main focus. The film lacks to provide any depth. A lot of times characters pasts are referenced and spoken about but never actually shown. A large portion of the film that was wasted with scenes of just wandering the desert, could have been used to provide some backstory to these characters that seemingly took most of the screen time. However, the cinematography for this film was quite beautiful. It was the only memorable part of the film.

Besides the reading on - screen facts at the end of the film, this movie is not interesting at all, and is not one I would recommend you waste your time watching. 3/10.

Whoever marketed this film needs to be reprimanded. This film has all the hallmarks of old classic storytelling. Slow paced retelling of historical dramas. With Arthouse direction and raw cinematography. It wasn't a masterpiece. But it wasn't supposed to be either. It was a gritty Period Drama.

This films posters have Momoa front and centre and I think that did it a disservice, he cameo'd in a film he co-wrote and that's about all. And the story was served by that decision. It was supposed to be about the story and not a Hollywood lead.

Go into this film expecting a Romeo and Juliet type tragedy and you'll be set. This is not about action, it's about contemplation. In many ways it serves as a neat last rites to the dying Wild West.

The whole treatment of this re-telling of the fact-based Willie Boy story is too minimalist to fully engage the viewer. If I had not had prior knowledge of the story it was trying to tell I'd have given up a short time in (in fact my audience did). The style is impressive with fine visuals and settings, but the screenplay just seems to get lost in itself and leaves the viewer struggling to remain involved.

While the earlier late sixties version (Tell Them Willie Boy is Here) is not that much better it at least does a better job of keeping the story elements on track. Maybe there was not that much of a story here to cover a feature movie - a documentary could have been better.
