Western is not my favorite movie genre. I had no expectations for this film. Actually, I expected another totally forgettable western movie. But I was totally surprised when I watched it. It’s a good western, with a good story well developed and no unnecessary excess of violence.

I think people who likes the genre will love this movie a lot more than me.

    This one was also a pleasant surprise for me. Really liked how Henry was played. Characters felt fleshed out better than a lot of westerns. There were a number of good surprise turns, and it kept my interest the whole runtime.

    I don’t think you’d have to be too much into westerns to be into this because of the good writing and acting. You could probably call this a historical drama as much as a western.
