Great Western. Well acted. Woody Harrelson in particular plays a creepy bastard. The plot comes a little early. The ending of the film is no longer surprising. I found the turn in the behavior of David's wife unbelievable.
All in all, an entertaining movie.

Excellent film that takes the time to build up the story. Because the tempo is a bit slower, it comes down to the dialogues, and they are generally in excellent order. Something that fits well with Harrelson's qualities, but Hemsworth is not much inferior to it. *3.5

Liam Hemsworth plays Texas Ranger David Kingston who in 1866 investigates a number of murders in the small town of Helena, where Pastor Abraham [Woody Harrelson] was involved in a deadly duel 20 years ago that can be seen in the prologue. The victims are all Mexicans and that turns out to be no coincidence. Atmospheric western with good playing by Hemsworth, but Harrelson dominates this western which is a bit on the slow side but has a strong ending.
