Rust

Despite what anyone thinks of Baldwin or the on set tragedy this movie should be rated on it's own merit so here goes. There's no denying the
cinematography is beautiful and the acting is pretty good. The sets look good and it's a well made film. The beginning was a bit confusing and
didn't make a lot of sense. The accidental shooting and the way if happened is a little odd (not a spoiler it's in the movie description). The writing is mostly pretty good but there are some moments of stupidity such as chasing off one of the horses to mislead any pursuers but doing so without taking the supplies an bedding off of it first was just stupid. By around the 45 minute mark the kid was starting to get annoying with his utter refusal to accept the reality of his situation. There's not a lot of action or gunfights and what little there is nobody seems to be able to hit targets right in front of them at pretty close range. At nearly 2 1/2 hours the movie seems way to long and slow. I found the whole thing kind of boring and was starting to lose interest by the 1 hour mark so I could of missed something in the second half. There is a scene where a man known as 'preacher' who's family has a history of being bounty hunters who hunt down runaway slaves goes to a whorehouse
and beds a black prostitute. Completely random pointless scene that feels like a DEI woke moment for the sake of it. If you like your westerns more slow drama then you may like this better than I did.
