Streaming currently and well worth the rental fee, this film is packed with top notch
actors, has an intelligent script, moves along nicely, is well shot and shows the Euro
touches of its French co-writer/director, Jacques Audiard. That would be less violence,
more nuanced characters, an appreciation for the land scape, deft humor, and a surprising
ending (with an elegant cinematic sequence) - most of which I think an American director
might have blown in a Western based around assassins.Even the Coen Brothers.
Good score too.
John C. Riley continues to be one of the finest actors of his generation and under
utilized Riz Ahmed is stellar.
