So found this one along and thought it looked like a modern western and it has one of my favorite actors in Michael Cudlitz - Shout out to Gross Point Blank-
McDonough is always fun as a baddie.
POSITIVES; The cinematography was awesome. It was gritty and had a weird red vibe. It was old school with long shots and let the actors act. The sparse action scenes were cool and the f/x were solid and old school. This was definitely a love letter to old gangster films. The acting for the most part was great. Loved the Hutch role. Billy Blare was awesome.
NEGATIVES; It was billed as an action film. An article I saw said it was a western film too. It is not either. There is action in it and it was made in Texas, I think. But it's not a western. It's closer to a dixie mafia type film. Or like Justified without the action.
I didn't like the music. I appreciate what they were doing but it wasn't my favorite.
The film moves slow and that's okay for some people. But I think the way the movie preview made it look, some will think it's more action.
Overall really cool little gangster film. Some gritty moments too.
7/10.
