I wish I could save this movie but, sincerely, it is not that great.
The plot is the usual, the good-hardened man who returns home from war to redeem himself. The usual very nasty guys who take advantage of expropriating people lands. Obviously the never forgotten ex-girlfriend, by this time married, which is in difficulties and ask for help. The good-hardened man that is brought (beyond measure) to the predictable despair.
The only nice thing about the movie are some good actors but, mainly the relationship between Sutherland father and son that it is interesting to see acting together in their "real" roles.
Otherwise a mediocre film, just a good set and a couple of moving scenes but overall a forced series of clichés from start to finish.
By not considering the recent eccentric "The Hateful Eight" or the particular "The Revenant", if you want to see a good - usual - now day western, then "The Salvation" or mostly "The Dark Valley" are on other level.
Just watchable
6/10
