Featured review
This is a top favorite Robert's film for me!
It's an odd casting for Roberts for some, but in 2023 it just shows how capable he is in practically ever genre! I'd love to see him do more of this!
THIS film is very quirky, dramatic, humorous at times ( thanks to roberts comedic talent) and a lot of not what you would expect. I'm not sure why but, I got wonderful smidgens of those wonderful old Sergio Leone films melded with modern expressionism. It's very different to describe this one because it doesn't fit neatly into a 'box'! It's part western, part drama, part comedy and a lot of surprise.
Well worth a watch if you like all above.
