Más Dura Será La Caída

This had all the makings of a good western but seemed more of a low budget Django Unchained.

Poor acting, plot and character development.

Idris was disappointing and I felt no love between the main man and woman.

The movie was as bad as my review.

Take it as it is: a terrific entertainment full of stars, charisma and pure fun. It took me by surprise, hooked from the very first cold blooded scene throughout and never let me down as a high budget Netflix film. So much fun!

Original take on the western genre. The story is a pure revenge western style story o on that part no problem. The way it was shot is excellent too as was the editing.

And if you think the score is typical Morricone sound forget it, it's full of music not connected to the genre, the reggae sound being the strangest one. But it all works fine.

Effects are great too, the red stuff is there but the only thing that I thought was why does it has to be so long. Over 2 hours and that shows in the middle part. It falls downwards in speed for over half an hour.

Still, an excellent cast and one funny statement, it's a white town... you will see what I mean. Great western.

Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0,5/5.

A wild bunch of good, bad and ugly outlaws fight over a few more than a fistful of dollars with true grit, before, after and during high noon, saddles ablaze with nothing to dodge, magnificent as many times as you like, wherever you decide to search, on any number of trains to Yuma, along as many red rivers as you can trace, stagecoaches at the ready, with Winchesters drawn, pistols locked, cocked and loaded.

Great performances and direction in a genre that had lost its momentum and mojo over the years, but as seen here, can still surprise and engage, with not too much variation from an overcooked theme.

This movie has so much style that substance is barely required. Yes, there were Black cowboys. Yes, these people existed. But this movie is mostly focused on (a) a ridiculously talented cast, (b) a familiar revenge tale, (c) amazing scenery/cinematography, (d) an absolutely banging soundtrack. By the end, you almost forget how whitewashed (and often boring) Westerns were for 100 years. It is big, bombastic, violent, unapologetic, and sexy as Hell. You may not love it, but you will 100% be entertained.
