Dir: Dewayne Dunham | Cast: Josh Whitehouse, Thomas Haden Church, Colm Meaney, Meagan Holder, Rhys Mitchell | US Western 2025
Filmed in Utah in a real quarry this Hollywood-style comedy crowd pleaser could have starred the posthumous John Wayne but Thomas Haden Church makes a damn fine job as a spunky and jocular ‘Wild West hero’, an ordinary man thrust into power who loses his way and then finds redemption. A story of faith, work, good versus evil, and the search for life’s meaning in an imperfect world
Magnificent wide screen images and strong performances all round make this contemporary Western a great way to introduce the genre to newcomers and younger audiences. @MeredithTaylor
