Featured review
Walter Hill is back with a solid old school western.
Unfortunately, films of this type are no longer made, today we are invaded by the rubbish of Marvel, by dozens of useless and pathetic reboots and remakes and in fact this film ignored by most of the public lobotomized by the great empty and soulless blockbusters.
Hill, on the other hand, packs an exquisitely retro, dark and funny film at the right point with a wonderful cast, above all obviously the always immense Christoph Waltz who plays a character very similar to the one he played in Django Unchained, but also Willem Dafoe and the beautiful and talented Rachel Brosnahan give some really good performances.
A film that goes straight to its purpose without getting lost in chatter, without lasting 3 hours (which today seems mandatory), but the usual hour and forty-five as it used to be.
My advice is not to waste time with yet another Creed, with Top Gun 2 or with the cinecomics rubbish, but rather watch this solid film, which is certainly not a masterpiece, but it is undoubtedly a very good film, better than 90% of the trash that Hollywood produces today.
