Streaming currently and well worth the rental fee, this film is packed with top notch
actors, has an intelligent script, moves along nicely, is well shot and shows the Euro
touches of its French co-writer/director, Jacques Audiard. That would be less violence,
more nuanced characters, an appreciation for the land scape, deft humor, and a surprising
ending (with an elegant cinematic sequence) - most of which I think an American director
might have blown in a Western based around assassins.Even the Coen Brothers.
Good score too.
John C. Riley continues to be one of the finest actors of his generation and under
utilized Riz Ahmed is stellar.

It was 1851 and the revolver had just been invented. IIRC, the early ones were still black powder caplocks, i.e., there were no modern bullets until 1854. But in the film, everybody had revolvers with bullets, I believe.
No big deal -- it's still an enjoyable story.
Loved it.
Looking forward to it. I love Reilly. Thanks.

Who was the best shot the West has ever seen.
The cleaner teeth a bonus.
Just read up on this film... it really bombed commercially.
Hadn't the slightest it even existed until two minutes before we watched it.
Sure to be a cult favorite in future.
I really thought it wonderful.

Of the type I would surely pass on.
Hopefully it will gain some legs over time through WOM.
It is deserving.
