Featured review
I'd start by saying Waltz, Dafoe, Bratt and the others are great actors. All did a great job with what they had here. Problem is, not sure what they had here.
The scenes were a bit choppy and kept waiting for a tv commercial to play between them.
Pretty sure I nodded off at one point and missed some, but it made no difference.
This was a western, I think, but not one I'd recommend for western movie watchers. The actors are top notch but just couldn't save it.
I would have tried for a spaghetti western vibe over this 50s American tv series type. The scenes with Waltz and Dafoe were good but the writing, no sir, I didn't like it.
It was simply too elementary. Ah well, better luck next time.
