A dark western . Characterised by fierce and unrelenting themes of cold blooded violence and remorseless brutalities. Gory , bloody and shockingly fiendish.
The story is pretty straightforward and like all good westerns this one too deals with the theme of " What is Evil and What is Good?"
Contains many scenes involving graphic violence which add to the dark nature of the movie.
Ray Winstone steals the show with a spectacular performance as the guilt stricken yet resolute lawman . Guy Pearce's role is important for the script though receives considerably less screen presence than some of the others.
With good locations and cinematography the movie does hold the viewer's attention for it's entire length .
A very serious western , mind you. The story is simple , the themes complex and the hues dark .
