Hermione G Sep 16, 2018 Wow. Strong female lead, a refusal to glorify violence, fundamentalism cast in a bad light, even some black humour, and a powerful film all round. A lot of people seem upset by this shakeup of the tired Western format. It's too dark and brutal for me, but it's still impossible to deny this is a very strong piece of work. Do not be mislead, this is not the bad movie someone wants you to believe it is. See more

Rey P Jan 2, 2014 140102: "Horrific and Hilarious" - How this film is described by Jason Issacs in the making of featurette. Good description that I will try to follow up on. If this is the way my year is going to start then it's bound to be a good one. The best sleeper hit I've encountered in awhile. Found at Walmart while searching video games with my son. Thought this might be another B Western that I'd regret having spent my money on but nope. Sweetwater will follow me to my death. As a matter of fact, not sure this film was good for my health. Be warned there is a lot of violence and stressful moments held within. This is a dark film. It's not happy. But, it's awesome. So badly wanted to give it five stars but some may think I'm nuts. Wow, that's all I can think to say at this point. Wow. Also, there are some humorous moments held within. Sheriff Jackson's investigational commentary at Prophet Josiah's dinner table is classic. He continues with great effect while watering Charlie, his horse. Kudos to Eduardo Noriega as Miguel and January Jones as Sarah. Engaging characters. Strangely, I thought this film was going to be a flop based upon the first ten minutes. Stay tuned, as it gets better with time. The use of forensics by Sheriff Jackson and Barley (Kevin Wiggins) was a delightful law enforcement twist. The killings are graphic but you cheer most of them on. Pedophiles be warned, Martin goes down hardest of all. Violated at the barrel of a gun, and by Sheriff Jackson himself. Payback's a bitch. See more
