Red Rock West (feat. Nicolas Cage)

Red Rock West is an objectively good film, and it succeeds in everything it tries to do. Being a modern, crime-oriented western, it doesn't set out to do anything new. That being the case, it's altogether pretty genuine. The scenes are beautiful and the acting is great. There are surprises and treachery within treachery, as you'd maybe expect.

There were no awkward moments that took me out of this terrifically immersive film. And there's even a cameo from Dwight Yoakam, which is a pretty big plus. However, this type of film isn't altogether inticing. There's no great hook for people who aren't into modern westerns. Life before this Red Rock West, I don't feel like I was missing much other than another well-made movie.
