Somewhere in here there's a decent western film, but the final product doesn't show it. It ends up being a paint-by-numbers western that completely falls apart about half way through the runtime.

While the performance by Ethan Hawke stands out and the Billy the Kid character is kind of interesting, they are not enough to rescue the rest of the movie.

The movie is about a boy searching for a moral compass in a world of moral ambiguity, but there is little continuity and progression as the movie stumbles from scene to scene up to a finale that makes no sense except in a Hollywood script. It is as if somebody created a list of Western tropes and the plot was later developed around that list. The dialogue is clumsy and sometimes barely believable and it is filled with tired cliches and neo-cowboy philosophy.

Some of the minor characters end up being distractions that detract from the movie. The biggest distraction is Leila George. Nobody's sister is that beautiful, especially if she is only a minor character.

Finally, I like Chris Pratt, but he was miscast. His character is supposed to be an evil drunken psychopath, but instead he seems too much like Andy Dwyer from Parks and Recreation.… Expand

Some sequences are pretty well made while another ones are near to feet a low budgeted direct to video. That's quite strange actually. The two different stories in the film does not feet correctly together, at a point one is near to be usuless. The acting isn't amazing at all, the score is inefficient, the photography is not well made and the overall experience lacks of a real interest. We are at thousands miles away from a 3:10 to Yuma. I suspect that Vincent D'Onofrio is a better actor than director.… Expand
