Review of The Sisters Brothers (2018) by Compi24 — 23 Oct 2018

Remember when everyone cried foul over the fact that "The Last Jedi's" main tension was essentially one really slow car chase? This is the same deal, except on horseback (so slower) and with many more rest stops along the way.

Yes, the acting is good. Yes, the production design and period elements are terrific. Yes, the gunfights (all three of them) are a fun watch. But, without any apparent weight or reason to care about any of the scenes occurring before the audience's eyes, how am I supposed to say this was an altogether worthwhile watch? For the first 90-minutes it feels like every scene's content is treated with such a pedestrian approach.

Things were just too blasé for my tastes. Again, it's made well and I'd even say the finale is pretty good. But I was simply disappointed with the effort, especially with the many talents involved.
