WARNING :::::: THIS IS NOT A WESTERN OR AT LEAST NOT A GOOD ONE
This movie gives me flashbacks to the Pepsi advertisement with Kendall Jenner, except this is more tortuous because it’s a whole feature length film. In short… it sucks
Cinematography is good, however, it is obvious from the first 15 minutes that they’ve (the writer, director..ect) tried to make the movie more culturally and racially inclusive. Not that that is a bad thing. It was also apparent that they gave the female cast a more dominant presence than submissive. Again, not that it is a bad thing, but that was a little cringe.
The plot was promising at the start but after the first couple of scenes it was obvious that it wasn’t a western, it’s more of a parody if anything. I felt like they could have given it more realism and less pazaz.
Again this is an opinion piece so it’s ok if you like this movie, but it’s just not for everyone. It’s like a poor version of DJANGO unchained , django had a black protagonist and it was to date one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. If your looking for a western with a black protagonist, watch django unchained…. Not this.
