Spoiler Alert! This Movie is Not a Tragedy

Rating: 8/10 (17 January 2020)

Some of the reviews call it formulaic, predictable, etc. You aren't expecting a tragedy, are you? While its ending is non-tragic, the plot is not predictable and formulaic. The protagonists do reach quite a low level, such that you wonder how they can be raised out of it, or whether they can. After all, Eastwood has been in movies in which heroes die, even though the movies are not tragedies.
There are many ways to get out of the valleys in this film, and it is not easy to predict which path it will take, even if you know before-hand that all of the protagonists make it all the way up the mountain. You need to watch it to discover whether its all of its protagonists make it out of the valley.
The biggest fault of this film is that it portrays its antagonists to an extreme level. They need not be portrayed so one-dimensionally to that we dislike them from the start.
