Even having being suggested about this from different people multiple times, I was reluctant to watch this as I never found Kurt Russel interesting. However, just got overwhelmed by the film on the very first scene, followed up by all the sequences later. Thematically, you can say this is a western, horror/cannibal movie. But the aspects Craig Zahler uses is very much unique and hard to find any other similar moves like this. There are long scenes, and the gores were just unputdownable. The camera is awesome. There are very beautiful wide shots of everywhere, even from the indoor shots. The editing is just apt. Specially the fight scenes near the climax, the editing techniques soothe our eyes. And lastly I want to mention the role of Richard Jenkins as the over-aged Chief Deputy officer who stole all the scenes (specially eating soup, promising avenge etc.), but agin, Jenkins does it for all the movies.
