About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tough, bleak manhunt Western where the pursuers unravel under pressure and prejudice, with a quiet, relentless lead; Not for you if you dislike harsh violence or slow-burn pacing like in The Mechanic.
Pros: gritty revenge western; tense posse breakdown; strong lead presence | Cons: grim violence; slow stretches; themes not fully formed
