Viewing Notes

Not sure why I decided to catch the midnight screening but this certainly isn’t a film deserving of that effort. Disappointing is the best way to describe it. Individual character moments are quite good but the story is plodding and hamfisted. The final sequence is just bad and nonsensical. Hard to buy that logic. I like all these characters but wish they were in a different film or even a straight up western.
