good. Hell, he just shot up his own gang, didn't he?
One can just see Russell's agent arguing he CAN'T be truly evil. And so, this ridiculously plotted, acted, and staged farce descends into camp but without the humor or self-awareness.
The worst touch may have been the pretty little blue-eyed teenager who had the gravitas of a Disney boy actor. His "toughness" was as convincing as Angelina Jolie's (come to think of it, Angie scrares the hell out of me sometimes).
Michael should have Baled. He's not much of an actor, anyhow. He's on screen for probably one hour and a half and doesn't manage one memorable line, movement, or ANYTHING.
After "Unforgiven," the bar was raised. This Western, unfortunately, takes us back twenty years in this genre.
