Sweetwater (2013)

I declare myself a lover of western movies. Of those of classic style, in which there are no surprises and the hero is clearly the hero, as dedicated to bourbon as he is to his gun; who takes the girl in extremis and has a very personal sense of justice and love. Westerns without surprises, I said, in which the good win and the bad die, be that as it may. But I confess my weakness for more or less experimental westerns. Sweetwater portrays fundamental themes known to all; the madness of religion and the eccentricity of the law. It does that through two singular characters, exaggerated, delirious, supposedly transcendental, totally overcooked. The script is very normal but it compensates this with other expressive resources, with scenes of fairly honest, extreme and suggestive poetry. A western filled with black humor and meaningless speech that deals with a harsh revenge, for once, at the hands of a woman. A little bit excessive movie, not suitable for anyone. A particular portrait of the madness of the Far West. A remarkable, risky but inspiring western.

Got the main elements of a classic western in its story, with a aura of lunacy and insanity in the central characters, and a good plot to watch. Thought it would be pure cliché and bad shot, but it was actually pretty good. Maybe you can say its a Predictable plot, but not exactly a cliché, and resolved, not like most of movies nowadays in which directors seem too proud to end the story in the way that the expectator wants it to end, so it's not and ending in which you turn off the TV pissd off.Ed Harris is pretty funny actually, and i'm not usually a big fan of him. Lucius malfoy is doing what he does best, chilly evil son of a gun. The lady doesn't talk much, her acting is good, and the character is coherent. just found myself with thumbs up, like 'there you go, woman!"

This one of the few and best westerns sense the unforgiven with Eastwood. no green screen just pure beautiful landscape and the characters were right on on their characters. costumes, languages, everything great. the movie has good action and it keeps ya guess'n what's going to happen next. would love to be included in one of their upcoming movies, preferably a western, and that experience would take care of my head real well. i need it too. g friend of Paul, Ed's brother, i got to see this movie and i host watch party's and still cant get enough. yeah a western buff i am. i also notice a lot when it comes to props. this movie was in tune with the times along as their costumes. the directing i'm sure was just as fun for everyone enjoying there work. everyone i had over to watch "SWEETWATER" was ready to go buy a copy of this movie, unfortunately the movie store only had a few copy's for sale but is ordering more. everyone agrees, this is one bad-ass movie that should get a lot of attention. it's got my 10 thumbs up... Logan and Noah; was great talking to ya. Hope to see you guys sometime and do something. Willie.............

Long-haired religious nut (Jason Isaacs) kills the husband of former prostitute-turned-farmer (January Jones). Violent revenge western dressed up with quirky types and some fairly weak attempts at profundity. Cast is solid with Ed Harris in particular having a good time with his role. However, it's one of those movies where everybody acts like characters instead of people. A little bit of that goes a long way. January Jones has a topless scene so boob lovers can check her off their list. It's all pretty by-the-numbers and there are no real surprises. Harris is the best part. I can't really recommend it but if you are forced to watch it, it won't make your eyes burn.
