This slow paced western holds few surprises in such an oversaturated genre. Still the cast and dialogue keep things interesting. Downsides are the low budget, average cinematography and poor action choreography. You can feel the passion thatThis slow paced western holds few surprises in such an oversaturated genre.

The best part of the film is easily the third act which features multiple twists and plenty of action. Unfortunately, this couldn't completely make for the pacing issues in the first two acts, which are extremely slow. The main emotional tentpole of the story should be between Henry and his son, but this fell flat for me because of some bad acting from the boy cast as the son. This film is still worth a view because of its dynamite third act and a great performance in the titular role from Tim Blake Nelson, but it certainly isn't a masterpiece by any means.… Expand
