7/10
Desperate Time, Desperate Measure
27 October 2022
Layered story; quite engaging one. The way the story develops hooks the viewer for good the flashbacks providing timely bits of information about the protagonists' past lives. We have writer Brian Duffield to thank for.

Cinematography is quite amazing. The wide shots of the wide expanse of the great west are marvellous while the close-ups capture the raw emotions of Jane and Dan in the shadows at night as they reminisce about how things turned out for them in the end. These quiet moments capture their humanity making these scenes quite poignant.

The action sequence at the end part is well-executed. The viewer is reminded of the action scenes in Gunfight at OK Corral or The Magnificent Seven.

Natalie Portman and Joel Edgerton give a solid performance. For Natalie, she pours her very soul into her portrayal. But surprise. I didn't quite recognize the actor who's playing John Bishop. My bad.
