Review of Bone Tomahawk (2015) by Crazyoli — 09 Sep 2020

Savage Native Americans? Really? We're still not done with that? Oh, pardon - they were cannibalistic troglodytes! I know. The movie was solid otherwise. Not great mind you, just okay. It has the usual stupid character decisions that make no sense and are just there to drive the plot forward along with the usual magical healing abilities that many action heroes seem to have.

Only when they need them of course. Everybody is willing to throw their lives away as well as is to be expected from these kinds of movies. The acting was sometimes decent and interesting and sometimes pretty cliche and shallow.

I can't even single out one actor for that since each of them switched between those parameters. Only Simmons was especially unconvincing. Damsel in distress anyone? Not that she looked too desperate as a prisoner *wink*.

The sound effects were a bit over the top. The gore was new for a Western movie (Yeah, it's labeled horror. I know.) but I was ok with that. What wasn't new though were the Western movie tropes.
