learn to keep the camera straight.

This will be a short review - it could be even shorter; it could simply say "learn to keep the camera straight". In fact i'm going to copypaste the phrase "learn to keep the camera straight" several times because i feel that this phrase, on its own, explains about 90% of what this film review needs to be.

The other 10% is: it's a cheaply made "western" with horrid non-professional acting, terrible photography (i've seen films shot on iPhones that are 10x better) and a plot which i didn't have time to understand because i was being made to feel nauseous by the constantly tilting and weaving of the camera.

learn to keep the camera straight.

That's lesson 1 of filmmaking. Even Andy Warhol's "Sleep" managed to accomplish this step, and The Murder Of Hi Good, instead, did not.

".. is a true crime revisionist Acid Western set in the frontier of Northern California" says the blurb. No. It's not. It's garbage.

My vote: 4/10 - learn to keep the camera straight.
