Just a well-made violent Western

Rating: 5/10 (29 January 2016)

In short, this movie is a good one as another well-acted harsh Western movie; but as an Oscar nominee and an excellent piece of cinematography! NEVER! First, the storyline has serious shortcomings. It doesn't make sense, and it's not catching in any way. Second, the level of violence is just too much. It exceeds an entertaining level and approaches a psychotic sadistic level. I don't understand why such a movie has to be praised at that level?! Third, this movie hangs on any vulgar tricks such as nudity and crazy ferocity to make up for it's weak scenario. Forth, I am not a music expert, but as an audience I would say that the music like all other parts of this movie was a bit too much in some periods (and of course nice in some, but not at the Oscar level). Fifth, while watching this movie, a thoughtful one would struggle with himself why I'm watching this?! Why such a movie has to be made in the first place? Here I'm not going to deny any of its good features like good acting and directing, but what I mean is that good actors/actresses basically, can play anything perfectly. The question is that how a director has to get them into play.
