QT films a 'huis-clos' western in 70 mm. Go figure. A bunch a complete misfits find themselves together in a boarding house in the middle of nowhere and all hell ensues.
Let me state alredy that I am NOT a QT fan. And this piece of junk only confirms my opinion. QT is totally obsessed with extreme violence so this is exactly what you get. There is nobody to sympathise with, definitely not the black bountyhunter, a former cavalry officer (did they have black officers during the civil war ?) and a sadistic racist if there ever was one. The rest of the cast consists also of complete morons. The worst fate is reserved for the only women, apparently a terrible outlaw who must hang. On top of that we are treated also to a long flashback in the middle of the movie which makes things even worse and is simply an excuse for some more mayhem against women. This movie takes misogeny to a new level.
Has this piece of trash any redeeming features ? Not really but the 70 mm looks nice in the few moments we're outside. Hence my one point.
As an antidote after this monstrosity I recommend you watch a few John Wayne westerns. It will do you good.
