About
You’ll likely like Brimstone if you enjoy a very dark, tense western with a relentlessly menacing tone, but Not for you if you’re sensitive to extreme violence or disturbing subjects like the ones discussed here (or if you prefer lighter westerns like The Homesman or Sweetwater).
Pros: tense, grim western feel; strong performances; moody, dread-filled | Cons: very disturbing content; uneven pacing; confusing timeline
