A western from a couple years ago where Idris Elba plays uber-outlaw Rufus Buck, the nemesis to many but particularly Nat Love, who he tortured as a kid. A hint of O Brother Where Art Thou vibes seeping out of a hard core western / redemption story. Mix in the land rush west and racism and you get plenty of motivation and complexity to keep you going. The basic plot follows Nat Love as he seeks out and kills everyone who was part of that Rufus Buck torture gang. When Buck gets out of jail, he has but on job left before he can leave outlaw life forever...
4 stars (out of 5)
