Jeff Bridges and Hailee Steinfeld. © 2010. Paramount Pictures, Skydance, Mike Zoss Productions and Scott Rudin Productions. Directed by Joel Cohen and Ethan Cohen. Watched it on Netflix.
Quick Review: Back at the Cohen house and watching this film was a joy. It's a Cohen film right from the start and it has that western charm that many neo-westerns haven't touched on in years. The story was very good as a simple revenge story but the true heart of the film is the crew. Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, and Hailee Steinfeld are all great together and they bring the classic western charm through their adventure. They work amazing together and with Josh Brolin's character in the film, it makes this film feel big and awesome. The story is very solid and while it takes time to get to know our protagonist, it sets up the old USA very well. Yes, there are some exposition scenes but it's necessary for this type of film. The story setup was good but the movie starts to get great during the adventure sequence and the final 20 minutes of the film. It's your typical western film but filled with great performances and great directing. The production design is very great, the cinematography is beautiful and the score is very good. The action was also fun and my expectations for this film were achieved. As a western film, it's very great and I had a good time watching it. I wish there was more action in this film because it's a western and the first 30 minutes were a little bit of a drag. But overall, I still had a good time watching this western. The runtime is short but you will have fun watching this film. I'm glad that films like The Harder They Fall (2021) still get produced today and the western genre feels like it's dying but there are more stories to tell in this world. I can't wait for the Cohen brother's next film if they get help from distributors. More westerns please Hollywood! Now Streaming on Netflix and on Digital. Vizeit Score: "B+" Copyright © 2022.
