Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Overall it was a good movie as a old-time Western. The problem I had was it describing it as him going after his abducted wife when it was someone else's wife in reality. I know that's probably a spoiler for the movie writer but get the facts straight instead of trying to surprise the viewers because that was the most disappointing part the rest was pretty good

Lawrence Roeck's second feature has the skeleton of an interesting symbolic western -- at times even a western psychological thriller -- but the screenplay never provides flesh or a beating heart. The attempt feels like a rough draft. Despite its short running time and dislike for extra details, it locks into a loose rhythm in the early going. Walton Goggins' character, played with a wicked spirit, brings a great deal of life to the film in his brief scenes. Goggins' presence begs for comparisons to The Hateful Eight, which wouldn't be in Diablo's favor. Eastwood, upstaged by Goggins and Glover, takes a bold move in his willingness to so directly invoke his father. The two look uncannily alike. His primary acting strengths lie elsewhere, but the flimsiness of his character here can be chalked up to poor writing. Technical credits are strong, and despite a somewhat foreboding score, the film looks excellent for its budget.

Because of the poor reviews I didn't have many expectations for this western, but, having watched it, I wonder if others saw a different movie. I watched a smart thrilling movie that gave a fresh twist to the typical western genre and stereotypical hero - akin to Bone Tomahawk (another fantastic western with a modern edge of violence). Scott Eastwood is a bit boring at the beginning but once his character evolves, he is brilliant and believable. I had no trouble following the story line and I applaud Lawrence Roeck for using dialogue and action to reveal the twist instead of dragging out a boring detailed explanation.This is not your formulaic Clint Eastwood Western but rather a next generation western in both actor and plot. Well done.

Isn't it dangerous to follow into the footsteps of your father? They will always compare you with your father. Just watch this western. Scott Eastwood is playing the leading role. Immediately you will think of the old spaghetti westerns with Clint Eastwood, Scott's father.Sure, Scott has the looks and sometimes he even has the same expressions as his father but does it make a good western.I found it hard to follow. The script is simple, save your wife being abducted by Mexicans. But it didn't work out as the old school westerns. The editing was terrible. Just look at faces how they are different between cuttings. Not only that, it even remind me of Police Squad. There's a shoot-out going on and people are maybe a few meters from Scott and still they can't hit him. Even the ending is awkward. Another gun fight and what is happening when they pull the trigger is never shown. Weird western that do has it moments but also has it flows.Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
