Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for fans of a good revenge story and fans of thinking-person's sci-fi. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning. Shelve it next to The Ballad of Buster Scruggs or Serenity. Underneath the tech, it's asking what being human really means.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Zips along, at 1 hr 34 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.

On another planet which resembles the Old West, a die-hard pacifist is forced to re-examine his ways after an evil alien bandit and his gang murder his estranged sheriff father, take over his home town, and threaten his friends.
