It seems as if the makers had a hard time choosing between comedy, drama or serious western and it didn't become it all. Maybe if you can see through the bad sets, bad outfits, ill-fitting music and mediocre acting, something interesting remains, but I really had to watch the film in stages because I thought it was all too bad.
The story is nothing but the standard revenge theme we've seen many times before (and better), only now with a completely black cast. Maybe that's why I don't belong to the target audience, but I really don't understand the hype of this film.
What is a classy actor like Idris Elba doing in this movie? I was really waiting for him to finally do his thing, but then the movie was over and I was still waiting. Zazie Beetz makes the film somewhat watchable, but otherwise certainly not recommended.

A western with a striking amount of colour. A town 'Whitetown' that is literally painted white. A colorful saloon with a blue body-painted dancer, a catfight in a dyer are some examples. It is clear that this is a conscious choice of style, just like bright rainbow colors work well for a children's party.
It is not surprising that a kind of Zwarte Piet discussion breaks out here on the forum, because almost the entire cast consists of African American actors. Not very common for a western. The reggae music under trotting horses underlines that we are not dealing with an ordinary western film. An attempt has been made to approach an exhausted genre in a completely different way and that, as far as I'm concerned, results in a refreshing Netflix original.
As a contemporary composer can draw from the oeuvre of his predecessors, all kinds of elements have been copied from classic westerns and mixed with modern influences. A comparison with films from QT is lurking here. The characters bear names of historical figures, that has little or nothing to do with the simple story. The story is a classic western theme: revenge, you don't have to worry about historical correctness.
I think it's an amusing movie. A bold and successful attempt at mixing styles. Nice music, great action, a touch of humor, visually very attractive. The film is long, fine for a dark winter evening. I don't really understand the low ratings here.
