Not a fan of this genre, but generally I can tolerate it. This was perhaps the most tedious hour and a half I've ever spent in front of a movie screen. Full of one-liners, completely predictable characters wandering around in a contrived series of plot-twists, I swear I almost expected it was going to be "And then he woke up and it was all a dream." Tough guy dialogue; Mithum almost a self-parody, but of course, that's exatly what he was asked to do. I suppose I have to admit that it was beautifully shot, but watching carefully groomed people drinking whisky and smoking cigarettes and exchanging clever one-liners was grueling.
Probably the most beautiful (visually) and wrenching film I've seen in the last 20 years. The landscapes along would make this worth seeing, a beauty that survives even the realities of living in such desolation (small mindedness of those doomed or blessed to live there). In Bruges gives some clue as to what this ensemble can do, but only that. While it's true there are no car chases or massive explosions, it's hard for me to understand how anyone could not be affected by it. I suppose those reviewers who seem to have missed this must have been watching something else or checking their instagram.
