An average movie

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved and since it was suggested by a fellow Listal member, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, I really loved the intro and the whole Sergio Leone vibe so the damned thing certainly displayed some potential at first. Unfortunately, the plot turned out to be so generic and it was rather disappointing that nothing really interesting or noteworthy really happened through the whole duration after all. Seriously, it was pretty much ‘John Wick’ in the Wild West. Concerning the cast, Ethan Hawke was solid as usual but I wouldn’t expect less from such a dependable actor. However, I was above all impressed by John Travolta who was just pitch-perfect playing some some villainous Marshal who turned out to be more subtle than the typical bad guys that you usually get in your average Western. Seriously, even if Travolta’s career always had some major ups and downs, the guy can be actually seriously entertaining, especially when he plays such juicy characters. For the ladies, Taissa Farmiga was not really bad but I didn’t care much for her character and, to be honest, I was really surprised by how weak Karen Gillan was in this flick. Of course, you could argue that her character was supposed to be some annoying gold-digging b*tch but she was never convincing whatsoever and her whole performance felt completely tone-deaf. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, I have to admit that it was still a decent watch though and I guess it is worth a look if you really like the genre.
