Review of Hostiles (2017) by Lon H — 12 May 2018
A nicely done Western fable, but has only its toes in the truth, which keeps it from being 5 stars. Comanches were no longer raiding by 1892 and would have never been that far west. The west was laced with roads and rail by 1892 and the group would have never gone cross country on horseback through the mountains.
A thousand mile trip on horseback with a sick man, mishaps, and injury would have taken months, not to mention, with all the settlement by this time, they would have been riding from homestead to homestead the whole way.
But I'm a sucker for a decent western and this one is better than decent. The Cheyenne characters could have been fleshed out better.
