HomeyTao For having a relatively low budget, the film's style and overall art direction are immensely impressive.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Michael Ledo Jon (Mads Mikkelsen) is a Dutch immigrant living in what will be "oil country." After seven years he brings his wife and child to the US to live with him. Things don't work out and Jon becomes a vigilante force in a western version of "Walking Tall." Eva Green is in the film, but has no speaking lines. The bad guy wears a black hat. Plenty of killing. I found the film to be formula and the dead pan character of Jon plus the quiet Eva Green made the dialogue thing a joke.Guide: No F-bombs or nudity (Congrats Eva Green on getting a role where you keep on your clothes. Now try for a speaking part with no nudity.) Implied sex.

Spockfan While this film contains many aspects of a traditional western - guns, oil, revenge, a strong dollar - it is a surprisingly concise story. And unlike so many other movies today, it does not aim to hit the 120 minute mark. It aims to keep you entertained for as long as it can, and then it rolls the credits. True-north for this film is conflict. Whether trying to out-pace a horse, or out-gun a gang, Madds finds himself in all the worst places, at the worst times. The action is visceral, and fast. The consequences are brutal, and absolute. Nobody is safe.Gritty, and violent, this is a movie you can actually watch in one sitting. And it thankfully eschews endless scenes of withered, old men staring at each other for hours.

Michael Wolfe Just another "perfect" example of demoralization of the human spirit in the form of relived tragedies! Simply a one up on who can make a more graphic movie! Our society and the media continues to desensitize our minds to such graphic death, and places a dollar figure on our souls! Don't watch this soul sucking movie.

jimanuel12 I just happened across a trailer for this movie, I had never heard of it before. it is one of the best westerns I have ever seen - right up there with the Unforgiven and the wild bunch. it is a blood and guts western - which I love. the very first blood and guts western was the wild bunch - which is my all time favorite western. this one has a different take being the main actor is a Danish solider just coming to America after being defeated by the Germans in 1864. it is a story of vengeance and the bad guys gets their due in the end. I don't know why I had never heard of this movie before but it is well worth the time to watch. you will not be disappointed at all. it reminds me in a way of High Plains Drifter but with a more modern blood and guts addition. tell you friends about it - it is a very good western.
