The Unholy Trinity

While Westerns is not my go-to type of genre for entertainment in movies, I do occasionally sit down to watch one. And stumbling upon the 2024 Western and seeing who starred in it, of course I opted to check out what director Richard Gray had to offer.

The storyline in the movie was good, and I was genuinely entertained throughout the course of the 94 minutes that the movie ran for. Writer Lee Zachariah put together an enjoyable and entertaining script and storyline.

The acting performances in "The Unholy Trinity" were good, but of course with the likes of Pierce Brosnan and Samuel L. Jackson on the cast list, then you're in good company. There are a couple other familiar faces on the cast list as well, such as David Arquette, Gianni Capaldi and Katrina Bowden.

The movie definitely looked and felt like a proper era-based Western movie, and that certainly added to the overall enjoyment of the movie.

I will say that "The Unholy Trinity" is a movie that is well-worth watching, especially if you enjoy Westerns in general.

My rating of director Richard Gray's 2024 movie "The Unholy Trinity" lands on a six out of ten stars.

I normally don't watch movies like this, but the opening scene led me to expect more from the narrative. It's an okay story with elements of western movies from days past.

The action was decent, though most of the cast isn't memorable. Maybe I'm alone in feeling this way however many characters lacked development or seemed flat. I personally don't care for the main character, he's too bland for my taste.

Despite the movie's shortcomings I still appreciate an attempt to do something "new". It's a short movie and that's perfectly fine. The fact they didn't pad it into 2hrs or more is great, because brevity works here. This isn't a must see in my book but a fun watch nonetheless. It had a few funny moments.

I'm only seeing this movie because it stars two of my favorite actors, Pierce Brosnan and Samuel L. Jackson. Brosnan was great as James Bond, I love his performances in all those movies back in the day. Samuel has made lots of great movies from the early 90's and 2000's. People consider Pulp Fiction to be his best.

But unfortunately in 2025, these actors were given a boring and weak story in this western movie. I honestly couldn't care less about a western, I'm more into modern storylines. The actors were the only reason I decided to see this.

Go ahead and watch it if you want but I certainly don't recommend it. It's not a bad movie but it's not a good one either, it's boring.

It's honestly one of the worst movies I've ever seen in a theater. Zero character development - a shoot from the hip story line that you figure out when they do and people getting shot for some reason and nobody cares least of all me. I am a forgiving moviegoer and couldn't have been more disappointed.

I am a fan of all the major actors and I understand sometimes you just need a paycheck but I can't imagine these guys would? Who knows- the female characters were all laughable and everyone was also just such a cliche of a character in a western movie - they would have been better off making it a spoof because I actually laughed when people were killed off. I never even write reviews but I hate wasting money and I LOVE going to the theatre. Next time I'll wait for other people to waste their money and benefit from their reviews.

I enjoyed the movie. The cast is fantastic, featuring Brandon Lessard, Samuel L. Jackson, Pierce Brosnan, and Veronica Ferres. The plot follows a classic Western theme where a son seeks revenge for his father's hanging by a corrupt sheriff. However, it includes some intriguing twists and well-rounded characters. There's no clear-cut villain; everyone has their own justified motives. I particularly liked the character development of young Henry Broadway (Brandon Lessard), who is innocently drawn into the adventure and faces constant moral dilemmas. Samuel L. Jackson's portrayal of the dubious St. Christopher is also a standout.

The film's setting in Montana is stunning, with innovative camerawork in the fight scenes. It has some humorous moments and isn't overly violent. While the story has minor plot holes and some characters develop (too) quickly and make irrational choices, these don't detract significantly from the overall experience. Some critics mentioned the varied "dialects" due to the international cast, but the movie explains each character's background well enough. Considering the diverse immigrant population in the 1870s West, this aspect feels authentic and isn't a dealbreaker.
