Sweetwater Spoiler Free Review

1.5 on 5

Well, they can not all be winners, will they? Even a good competition like Sundance isn't immune from a flop or 2, particularly late within the competition. Last year, it absolutely was most likely LAY the favourite, whereas this year, that questionable “honor” goes to SWEETWATER.

Usually a decent, nonwoody revenge tale set within the recent West would be right up my alley, however right from the get go it's obvious Logan and patriarch Miller, the writers and administrators of the film, square measure reply of their depth. The story is recent hat, having been probably raised from associate degree recent Raquel Welch western referred to as HANNIE CAULDER, with to a small degree KILL BILL thrown certain  sensible live. The west, that ought to be a personality of it's own, has ne'er been recorded thus haphazardly, not even within the dozens of TV westerns my male parent accustomed become old observance on TV. Compared to the current, BONANZA is like UNFORGIVEN.

Matters are not helped a lot of by the solid. January Jones could be a spectacularly enticing lady. nobody will argue that. however as associate degree actress? i do not wish to be mean, however this performance is not solely picket, it's downright petrified. Jones is howling on MAD MEN, however she does not the least bit suit the a part of a tough-as-nails former recent west prostitute turned dirt farmer, with no a hair out of place throughout. And despite the very fact that within the initial time unit of the film, she loses a husband, a baby, and gets raped, her expression ne'er goes on the far side a pout. She will get topless later though- thus there is that.

As if to form up for Jones' lack of enthusiasm, erectile dysfunction Harris and Jason Isaacs go approach, way, far more than the highest as severally, a wacky law officer, and therefore the overzealous Mormon villain. Harris looks to be having fun howling at the moon sort of a wolf, and pirouetting and performing arts round the desert, whereas making an attempt to resolve a double murder (with the Miller Bros., giving themselves a cameo). Isaacs plays your typical, wide-eyed, insane reverend, with a haircut and facial hair that creates him seem like metropolis Oldman's Dracula. he is fully ridiculous, on the other hand again- i assume that suits the film.

Despite solely running ninety minutes, SWEETWATER feels fully endless. Once the nonwoody payback scenes kick in towards the top, even the foremost patient audience members are approach on the far side caring, and anticipating the credits to roll in order that they will bolt for the exit. Truly, SWEETWATER is one in every of the terribly worst films I've ever seen at a movie festival- cherish one thing like Passion play. Inevitably, given the cast- this may kick off, however trust Maine, this is often fully atrocious.
