   I'd be into a sequel. Sure the dialog isn't reflective of the time, and the acting is a bit tongue in cheek, but it's an honest effort at a modern western. Gimme more. 7 months 2 weeks ago

   Could have been better. He tried for the whole Spaghetti Western revenge killing thing, but put the back story a half of the movie. Spaghetti Western's usually work by having an amoral character change sides several times while trying to work out a singular goal that transcends all of the betrayals (money, revenge, etc). The "hero" in a SW usually benefits from not having an overly developed reason for his revenge or delving into his past. On this level the SW format is a lot like the hardboiled detective format of the 30s and 40s.
   
   I'm a big Ti West fan, but the slow burn approach doesn't work for this genre. It was OK. 8 months 3 weeks ago

   Pure garbage.
   
   This movie jumps from deadly serious to laughably absurd but never strikes an effective balance. The acting was also abysmal. A waste of time. 9 months 1 week ago
