Never Caught Wind of Any Hype
17 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Wasn't even aware that this was a Cohen Brother's film, I probably should've guessed considering a lot of the usual characters and impressive cast. Wasn't the legless, armless chap Dudley Dursley from Harry Potter? Regardless of haphazard story lines and abruptly ended segments, there was still the earmarks of a Cohen Brothers movie. Was John Goodman and John Turturro unavailable? Cinematography and sound stages were genius...as someone else noted an homage to John Ford. Sam Dillon, the back-shooting claim-jumper, was a dead ringer for William Bonney. Wonder if that was what they were going for. Alice Longabaugh getting head-shot by the Indians was a kicker. Didn't see that coming, actually. The Jack Russell barking at the gophers was priceless, as was the multiple Indian war ponies falling due to their legs collapsing gopher tunnels...that was Cohen Brothers gold. I agree this wasn't their best work, but enjoyable nonetheless.
