An innocent young man, Jack, goes on an epic quest to rescue his sister Lula after she has been kidnapped by the violent killer Cut Throat Bill and her gang. To save her, Jack enlists the help of a crafty bounty hunter named Reginald Jones, a grave-digging alcoholic son of an ex-slave, and a street-smart prostitute. The gang tracks Cut Throat Bill into the deadly no-man’s land known as The Big Thicket — a place where blood and chaos reign.

A very entertaining modern western.

Cut throat bill and Reginald were incredible characters and you could just feel their presence coming off of the screen, truly some amazing performances by Peter Dinklage and Juliette Lewis.

Cinematography is incredible, and the landscapes that are showcased are stunning.

Getting to see the director and have him elaborate on the different aspects of creating the film as well as some of the character’s motivations only improved the experience.

the thing that sets the tone most for this is when there's a ten minute(!) cold open, opening credits, and then it just cuts back to what happened directly after the last scene. why was that broken up by opening credits. cool cinematography i just wish the writing was interesting at all

It good I liked the characters cut throat bill was a good antagonist and I really like her and yes I am  biased because it’s Juliet Lewis, I didn’t quite get her motivation for taking lula other then she’s a lesbian and since it’s not accepted in that time and she isn’t “attractive” she feels the need to kidnap them, some point I was bored  and I wasn’t too interested in some of the other characters but overall very good
