The Ballad of Lefty Brown

Bill Pullman portrays an old cowboy left to find justice for the killing of his lifelong friend. His nature is revealed by his selfless determination to persevere. The story of betrayal hung on flimsy details and there were a few plot holes, especially at the very end. However, overall it was entertaining and engaging. You can't help but root for this unlikely and unusual hero.

Never since single-handedly saving the United States of Will Smith from evil Martians has Bill Pullman shined like he does in this fettucine western about an old horse three shoes short of a proper shodding out to get Metal Gear revengeance for the death of his long-time pardner.

I’ll happily throw my support behind anything that gives Pullman an opportunity to play, and he seems to be having fun here, heading up into a higher register than usual to play an atypical bumbler – maybe I was too prepared for a satirical subversion of the western hero to properly enjoy this, because once Pullman is established, it tends to journey over more familiar and predictable ground, and turns quite po-faced and heavy-handed at the third act turn once Caviezel takes the stage.

The Ballad of Lefty Brown is a very beautiful western with loads of interesting, strong characters portrayed by an amazing cast. The imagery is beautiful and the music really gives you a whole flood of Red Dead Redemption 2 -moods. The only problem with this movie to me was that it lost steam somewhere towards 3/4th of the movie. The conspiracy is far less interesting than the other parts of the movie are and in the end the way the movie concludes is left kind of lukewarm, as well.

This film has lots of softly spoken dialogue, which may be frustrating for some. There are some plot elements I thought weren't very believable, although there are some gripping moments present at times. This is very much an ok Western. I particularly liked the character of Laura Johnson, played by Kathy Baker. She's a real no nonsense lady. Otherwise this film is ok but nothing especially worth writing home about, so I wouldn't recommend it as such, no.

Bad photography, bad everything except the acting. That the other characters actually believed Lefty killed him was both laughably stupid and unbelievable.

The trusted sidekick gets his story. That alone made this western worth watching.

Passes the time.

I love westerns, but this didn't capture the beauty of Montana and the story has been done over and over.

bir western hayranının, janr motifleriyle beraber standart hikayelerden birine görece modern bir yorum getirişi temel olarak. kulağa komik gelecek kadar çiğ diyalog yazımı, yer yer fps düşüşü olan oyun misali işleyen bazı çekimler ve hikayeyi gereksizce sündüren sıkıcı anlatımıyla akılda kalacak bir şey bırakamıyor geriye.
