In a Valley of Violence (2016)
This just falls completely flat
I like Hawke in this role. He does a good job. In fact the whole cast does a good job.
This movie however is just written on napkin. It's like a class for writing where the teacher asks what are the main elements of western and then you tie a thin red string through that.
I do not understand why big names are in this movie at all. I thought perhaps maybe there was a national competition and that fresh out of school kids won and that the actors joined up for charity's sake.
There is however some humor in this movie. They sort of managed to make traditional western dialogue a bit cheeky. I managed to get through it, but I was questioning why the whole time. 3:10 to Yuma or True Grit are great movies. This does not make the cut.
Setup (2011)
Absolutely terrible
We've seen the story a thousand times, but that's not what's wrong with this movie.
What's wrong is:
The dialogue is horrible. I've seen much better in B movies.
Dead people move their eyes - and not just a little.
Bad guys give the main character second changes over and over.
Looks like they went to Wall-Mart and bought the make up for people that have been beaten up.
And of course to top it all off - the famous "I got shot but the bullet hit a cross around my neck saved me.."
Some of the actors do an OK job, but this movie really isn't worth it.
I regret spending 90 minutes on this.
