About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a serious, episodic revenge Western with moral push-and-pull and a long pursuit; Not for you if graphic violence or slower stretches aren’t your thing, unlike North to Alaska.
Pros: gripping revenge drive; strong character growth; tense set pieces | Cons: very brutal opening; uneven pacing; casting feels off
