A worthy addition to the genre, especially in 2021, and it was nice to see Sam Worthington in a lead role again, however, I'll agree with other users that this film could have been a lot better. There was a ton of unrealized potential with the excellent cast, as well as within the script itself - the film could have easily been 30 to 45 minutes longer than it was, and could have given some more character development to minor players, and especially to Thomas Jane, who's character is very negligently managed. Sam Worthington's character feels like an ultimate badass when on screen, but again, is underplayed. Instead, the film feels more like a showcase for us to see how much of a badass Machine Gun Kelly is. I'm sorry, I meant Colson Baker. Are we taking him more seriously as an actor now? I didn't think so. All of his scenes are overdone and repetitive; he was definitely on way too much of the film's screen time. I would rather look at more pictures of landscapes. How many times do we need to see him effortlessly shoot someone in the head? MGK's scenes were predictable and boring. The rest of the film is gritty, dirty, and violent. The cinematography is wonderful, the scenery is beautiful, the soundtrack by Phil Mossman is moody & edgy, and is an excellent addition to the film. Would recommend and would watch again.
