Pretty absurd

Rating: 4/10 (23 August 2016)

It opens with a rancher having his barn burn by the henchman of a man he owes money to. The henchman shows his face, which is absurd since he could be arrested for arson.
Then we switch to a gang led by Russell Crowe, who looked and sounds much too posh to be a Wild West outlaw.
From there it gets worse. They are after a stagecoach which they know carries a Gatling gun. They have cleverly set up a way to stop it – but decide for no good reason to first chase it and get shot at, with predictable losses.
The main part of the action is escorting the prisoner to the 3:10 to Yuma Prison. He kills one of the escort, and they don't make the obvious response of killing him. Then another and the same again.
I won't give away the ending, but I found it the silliest twist of all.
