SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This film takes a typical western premise - a journey through a landscape of characters and escapades - but gives it a twist that adds weight and depth.

Jay (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is a young Sottish lad traveling in Colorado chasing down his lost love Rose (Caren Pistorius). An incident in Scotland caused Rose and her father to flee. The story picks up in Colorado with Jay, an educated young man, way in over his head. After a confrontation, he ends up riding with Silas (Michael Fassbender) a bounty hunter in a land filled with thieves, murderers, bounty hunters, and unhappy Native Americans. 20 minutes into the film we know our drama can only end in tragedy as we wait to see it unfold. Jay is full of hope and a strong character and we wonder if he can change what appears to be inevitable.The film moved at a moderate pace, just enough to keep us hanging on. Good performance by Fassbender.Score: Sex 0; F-bomb 1; nude butts 2. Rating :R

Old West is a movie that is very much a love letter to the western genre of film. Although the film takes on the look and feel of an old school it does take a several diversions from the classic formula in part by completely discarding any romanticized conventions of the genre and instead tells its story with almost a nihilistic realism towards the morality of the characters and there motives. I will criticize the acting of Kodi Smit-Mcphee is really a mixed bag. Overall it really is pretty good overall but his accent really decides when and when not it actually exists. It can be really annoying and actually quite baffling. It really is a shame really considering just how good Smit-Mcphee has been in prior roles.All the other actors in this movie do a great job, in particular Michael Fassbender does a really great job in his support role. And the cinematography and settings of Slow west are some of the most appealing memories of the movie even a week after my initial viewing of the movie. A lot of Westerns really bask in the glory that is the wide open and seemingly unending beauty of the American West but Slow West really steps up its game. I have to think this probably has more to do with the fact that they filmed in New Zealand and not in America or Mexico but it captures the amazing feeling non-the- less. In the end I do really recommend this film to any fans of the Western genre, I just wish I could give it a better score than I did but Kodi Scot-Mcphee just didn't bring his A-game to the main role.

'Slow West' follows a 16-year-old boy on a journey across 19th Century frontier America in search of the woman he loves, while accompanied by mysterious traveler Silas. Michael Fassbender is a great and talented actor just watch the X-Men Trilogy he was amazing in those films unfortunately he has chose projects in his career that were so bland and bad that i couldn't even finish them including Slow West a movie that has bland characters, mediocre acting and many dumb and salty scenes that got me so bored that i had to skip the whole thing make yourself a favor and don't watch this movie please. I'll give it an 4/10
