About
Not for you if you want a fun, unpredictable crime story—this is a gloomy, repeat-heavy gunfighter tale that leans on tension and atmosphere; fans of Extreme Prejudice or Out for Justice may be happier.
Pros: stylishly bleak atmosphere; intense gunfights; memorable score | Cons: dry/bleak tone; repetitive action; narrative not deep
