About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a reflective, atmospheric western with a steady chase and a seasoned outlaw at its center; Not for you if you need constant action or a fast plot like Green Zone.
Pros: strong lead performance; beautiful Bolivian landscapes; thoughtful, moody western | Cons: slow pace for some; simple story beats; uneven supporting roles
