Justice (2017)

For fans of westerns, "Justice" is a "been there, saw that" film. The story was probably written about 1868 or so. That's the time the movie takes place. "Justice" is so predictable, and has so many western clichés, that it is unintentionally funny. Off the top of their cowboy hats, western fans can devise two or three plot turns that might (accent on might) make the film better. Other than the evil town mayor, played by the always-great Stephen Lang, the other major roles are either miscast (the heroine) or incompetent (the hero), who acts like Clint Eastwood (accent on acts like). Don't waste your time in this town, pardner.

Gee, I saw four guys, four writers wrote this screenplay, at first I thought it would be good since there were four guys sat together to patch up all the illogical holes for each other. But unfortunately, they all turned out to be morons and certified by this lousy movie.The reverend/preacher wrote a letter to his brother in the church, but before he got the chance to send it out, not by email or priority mail or express mail or registered mail, he was killed and then burnt to death with the church, including the desk he wrote that letter, which he put inside when a barmaid came to him seeking for help.Funny thing is later when his veteran brother came to town seeking him out, all he could find was a burn-down church site. Miraculously, the woman who took him to his brother's burial site took out that letter his preacher brother never got the chance to mail to him. The whole church was gone, the preacher brother was burnt to death, might just some ashes left later for burial, everything was burnt and gone, yet the un-mailed letter miraculously survived.Lousy movie with bad screenplay, bad directing, bad acting, bad....nothing is good. Don't even think about watching it, just don't bother, man.YOU THINK I AM THAT STUPID LIKE YOU FOUR GUYS, THE DIRECTOR AND THE WHOLE PRODUCTION GROUP?!!! Jesus.....

Seven minutes into the film I knew the whole plot. Preacher gets killed by the bad guys who run the town while writing a letter to his brother. We then see a US Marshal riding into town. IT'S HIS BROTHER! Wow! Didn't see that coming or the school teacher he meets. Okay what I really didn't see coming was that the Marshal had the letter that got burned up in the fire the night his brother died. Toss in a phrase like Quantrill Raiders and a mayor who wears a top hat, has a cane, and walks around like Silas Barnaby and you have a pretty cliché filled tale. Some of the dialogue I liked, but it was far from carrying the film.No swearing sex or nudity.

The screenplay for this movie is slow, ridiculous and stupid. Many things are not plausible, especially at the end (spoiler alert, if you can spoil THIS movie) where a wooden cross 10 feet up falls over to impale the bad guy in the chest, right side up. Then the good guy says "thank you" to his dead preacher brother. Wow.There is some good acting by a couple of actors, but unfortunately, the dialogue is dumb.
