Well if you enjoyed my recommendation of "
Old Henry" last year, you will enjoy this. It's essentially the same film, except you replace Tim Blake Nelson with Gina Carano (Hattie) and a crying baby, and you replace Stephen Dorff with Nick Searcy (The Captain), and you get Gabriel-Kane Day Lewis to play the son (Daniel Day-Lewis's real son), and switch up the plot to be a revenge tale of a group of confederate soldiers, post civil war, looking for those responsible for the death of the Captain's daughter. Hattie has to defend herself and her two kids from those evil doers who have encircled her home - you have seen this story a hundred times before but trust me, this is a great version of it. If I controlled awards shows, Nick Searcy would get a nomination for best supporting actor - he makes a great villain. It you like Sam Peckinpah movies or you like your Westerns served bloody with a shot of whiskey, then mosey up on over and find this little beauty of film (it really is a handsome looking movie with pretty mountains - everyone likes pretty mountains and artistic shots!) on streaming services now.
