With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for people who root for the clever crook and western fans. The fun is in the planning, the double-crosses and the moment it all goes sideways. Shelve it next to The Ballad of Buster Scruggs or The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.
- The mood
- Easygoing.
- The pace
- Well paced, at 50 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1918: an older pace and style.
Cheyenne Harry tries to help his outlaw friend Padden evade arrest after Padden has drunkenly shot another man. In the end, the two mismatched friends fight it out, leaving Padden dead. In a romantic subplot, Harry's fiancée Alice leaves him, but finally returns.
