I had the chance to sit down and watch the 2019 Western movie "Eminence Hill" here in 2021, as I stumbled upon the movie by sheer, random chance. And seeing that the movie's cover had Lance Henriksen, Barry Corbin and Dominique Swain on the cover, I must say that I was interested in seeing it, especially because of Lance Henriksen.
The storyline told in "Eminence Hill", as written by
Robert Conway and Owen Conway, was actually adequate. It wasn't a movie that had me overly impressed. But I will say that I was adequately entertained by what the movie turned out to be.
However, Lance Henriksen was in the movie for maybe a full minute or so. So having him on the movie's cover was just an awful way of luring people in to watching it with putting a familiar face there. Hey, it worked. I picked the movie up, didn't I?
Director Robert Conway managed to make the movie feel like an old fashioned Western, so that was definitely something that worked in favor of the movie.
While "Eminence Hill" was a watchable movie, it was hardly an outstanding or memorable Western. Nor is it a movie that warrants more than a single viewing. Though I think that for the true hardcore fans of the Western genre, then a movie such as "Eminence Hill" will bring proper entertainment.
My rating of "Eminence Hill" lands on a bland five out of ten stars.
