Following an attack on a stagecoach by a group of brutal bandits, the responsibility falls to the reserved war veteran "Mo" (Letitia Wright) to monitor the captured "Tommy" (Jamie Bell) while the others search for stolen valuables. “Tommy” employs various strategies attempting to gain her confidence and secure his release – including getting himself unbound from a tree – but she proves to be anything but timid, and it’s only when his own associates arrive and she's confronted with dangerous decisions that he is freed and she must fight to survive. I don’t believe this film truly qualifies as a Western; the setting could just as easily have been an urban landscape. It seems intended as a more nuanced narrative exploring themes of gender and race within a predominantly male and unforgiving society, and Wright generally delivers a solid performance in her role. Bell is also capable when given the opportunity to display his character’s anger, which often proves entertaining. The addition of "Clay" (Michael Kenneth Williams), who brings an intimidating presence, should have ensured a compelling story. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen. The initial scenes and introductions establish the characters effectively, but the core narrative feels predictable and mechanical. While the cinematography is well-executed and Robin Hannibal’s score complements the film, the dialogue soon devolves into simplistic and uninspired exchanges, and the movie loses its momentum after roughly forty minutes. The ending provides a sense of satisfaction, although by that point I wasn't particularly invested in the outcome. It’s probably worth seeing, but ultimately it was a letdown.
