Review of Brimstone (2016) by Mohammad H — 02 Apr 2017

A hard to watch and painfully real depiction of the Wild West and the very worst from it as well. A cruel story with no heroes, saviors, knights in white armor or God himself - a story so real and cruel as life itself usually is.

There is no secret message, no higher purpose, no hidden meaning and no hope at all to be found here. It's a story about those among us who suffer the most, without hope or chance of release, to whom life is unbearably unfair and cruel beyond belief.

And guess what - there were and still are many of them in the real world around us. If you don't care at all, do not watch this movie. This movie may appear to some as senseless sadistic display without any sense - but you know what - there is no sense in sadistic violence.

Therefore, this movie does what it intends to. ''Abandon all hope ye who enter'', cause this movie is worse than hell.
