Tensión en Montana

Am I supposed to be sympathetic to Gina Carano's character?? She literally brought the entire thing upon herself and her family and her neighbors. Her character has to be the stupidest woman I've ever seen in a western..

Oh, and don't get me started on the massive "reveal" and plot holes with completely incomprehensible actions by ALL characters beginning about 2/3 of the way through the movie.

And the ending! Really??

Possibly the worst western I've ever seen. Just incomprehensibly dumb.

Wow. This movie is SO poorly scripted. Such high expectations. SO disappointed. Not impressed, Daily Wire.

If I was Ben Shapiro, I would be ashamed to have my name on this movie.

Lemme just say, I love that Daily Wire is getting into entertainment. I've been a subscriber for over a year, and I'm not leaving any time soon. However, this movie is not good.

I'll start with a few positives. The movie looks pretty good, and I think the decision to go with no score was a good one. There are some exciting moments, but overall, the movie really failed to excite me.

Now the bad. The characters here are so paper thin, that I find it hard to really care how things turn out for them. The arcs are so generic and predictable, that they might as well not even be there. The villain is very cliché, riding around spitting intimidating Bible verses and scalping people. However, he is probably the best thing in the movie.

The acting is competent, but fails to sell me on anything deeper than surface level emotions like fear or anger. The plot drags on for way too long, considering the fact that nothing really happens. On top of this, Spoiler Alert (though not really), we are treated to another feel-good ending where everything turns out perfectly for the characters without having to sacrifice anything, which is so frustrating.

Watching this movie made me realize the pattern that is forming with DailyWire movies. They all follow "strong, independent" female characters who either have to rescue the men who are incompetent, or defeat the men who are evil. If I want the feminist messaging, I can go to Hollywood, they have plenty of that. This is supposed to be DailyWire, a company that stands for traditional values and against the wokeness of Hollywood.

If it were one or two movies from them, I wouldn't have a problem. Hell, movies like Alien that follow strong female protagonists are some of my favorites of all time. I just want some variety from DW, especially in an era where masculine man are increasingly rarer and under attack.

We are four movies in with DailyWire and they are yet to make a movie that is particularly interesting. Shut In is still the high water mark for them, but even that was only ok. So yeah, strong 4/10, not good.

I wanted to give 10/10 so bad- love these people, but there was no family chemistry and it was too slow. It felt both over And under-acted at times. Do more, keep going, but this was a little bit of a let down.

I love westerns and wanted to love this one but, like the previous film Shut In, there are just far too many stupid choices and, in this case, bad shots, So many bullets fired, so few targets hit. Frustrating.

I cant stand movies where things just don't make sense. When plot armor is used then common sense isn't used. Frustrating when things happen that just dont make sense. All signs of a poor director cant tell a story. Gina (and i like her) didnt put in the best performance. Just because I'm rooting for these daily wire movies doesnt mean we shouldn't hold them to a decent standard. Ive never seen so many bad shots or decisions not to shoot when anyone would shoot just because of plot.

I would say this is a very frustrating movie.
