Warning: there is shooting/stabbing/torture/decapitation/biting/animal cruelty

Urban meets Western is what we have here: briefly Nat Love [Younger: Chase Dillon/Older: Jonathan Majors:] a young boy/adult is a outlaw seeking revenge against Rufus Buck for killing his mother and father in front of him when he was younger, not only mentally scarring him, but he also physically scarred him with a pen knife.  Rufus Buck [Idris Elba:] is an outlaw that has been recently released from prison, he wants to see Nat Love as he has stolen a lot of money from him, he physically scarred Nat so when he comes for Buck you would know the man.

The framework and pacing of this 139 minute film is good; as we have Urban music consistently throughout this project which makes this film feel and use a modern up-to-date presentation even though it is set back in western times.

Art: the opening credit sequence is basically it is a black and red; with as I can best describe as gritty effects,] when you come across this opening credit sequence you will understand this much better, but needless to say it is very eye-catching and likewise for our this film there is scenery and wardrobe which can only be seen as eye-catching and detailed.

Comedy: there is a comedy sprinkling now and again I am paraphrasing here roughly; such as a character would rather be shot them here another character talk, so Nat Love obliges him.

Action: they are best associated with their time in history, so you will see basically a train hijacking, gunfights and so on and so forth; my example has to be Trudy Smith [Regina King:] the right-hand person to Buck in his gang with knives connected by a fine chain vs. Stagecoach Mary [Zazie Beetz:] a solarium owner in Douglas Town and ex-girlfriend of Nat with a shot gun without ammunition so using it as a club, we have breaks away from this action sequence but we see its conclusion; but this action sequence is all good.

Character developments and the performances: the character developments are reliably good versions of what they are meant to be with complimenting performances from everyone in this cast to bring the story to life.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; it is a solidly good entertaining film and yes it has so many awards accredited to its name; 29 Winners that includes BAFTA Awards 2022 BAFTA Film Award Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director, or ProducerJeymes Samuel (writer/director) and Black Movie Awards 2022 Black Movie Award Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role Regina King. 80 Nominees that includes AARP Movies for Grownups Awards 2022 Movies for Grownups Award and at the same awards ceremony/event Best Buddy Picture Best Ensemble.
