Review Time

Warning: there is child abuse/shooting/animal cruelty/animal waste/burning/capital punishment/stabbing/medical/references to racism and slavery

Journey to somewhere in Mexico: briefly; we meet Lucas Hollister/other name [Patrick Scott McDermott:] he is the oldest brother looking after his little brother, but after an accident he is sentenced to death. Harland Rust [ Alec Baldwin:] he is an old outlaw which is also her grandfather to these two nephews, but he takes Lucas on this journey to safety

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 139 minutes long is best described as torture; it just drifts along without any kind of get up and go, in fact it got up and left us way behind; this film was hard work to watch and my interest in it, very much switched off at somewhere throughout.

Art and action; there are some beautiful artistic visions throughout this project and let's be completely honest here they are one of the biggest consistent assets alongside another which I will discuss later, but for now the artistic eye throughout this film is to be given high praise indeed and Halyna Hutchins as cinematographer on this title, should be delighted with the finished article of this title and the action sequences are very much the standard for a western genre project, so they are at least solid.

Character developments and performances; the character developments are broadly speaking for the vast majority of them; solid versions of what they are meant to be, but the character developments of Lucas Hollister/other name are just incredibly insufferable as at no point does he seem to grasp what kind of trouble/world he now finds himself in; you know it is okay for awhile to have this kind of character development, because he is young but some point the penny has dropped at some point, I mean really character developments he expresses of growth is the standard for this kind of outlay, which is getting closer to his family member. I mean if they wanted this kind of character developments where he doesn't learn they have hit the nail on the head, consequently if this is what they were going for Scott McDermott puts in a good performance. Baldwin as Harland Rust: essentially puts this film on his back and carries it as best as he can, without Baldwin putting in this strong performance to try and make something out of very little without any assistance from the framework or/and pacing of this film, he still shows that he can still offer a lot to the film industry.

This film receives: 2/10,  this film is poor; as I have already referenced this film is not only a averagely long film, but it actually feels much longer am incredibly tiresome and likewise the character developments of one main character is insufferable as well. there is words on-screen referencing Hutchins an extra credit scene and a section focused on Hutchins' family [that accidentally got shot and subsequently died on 21/11/2021] and this film does have 1 Winner award accredited to its name, which is massive negative Alliance of Women Film Journalists 2022 EDA Special Mention Award Hall of Shame Producers, crew and cast of RUST for not following proper safety protocol and causing the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. 

Out on respect I will dedicate this content to Halyna Hutchins: RIP Halyna Hutchins 1979-2021

Real Talking Time:


Warning: there will be some censored adult language references and including speculation.

I think this is a terrible fudgin' turn of events: now let's make things crystal clear I'm not getting on the back of any innocent party here, but having said that I do wish they would have shelved this project. Because here comes the speculation, if they have not the blessing or something to that effect of Halyna Hutchins' family [as she was the cinematographer that accidentally got shot and subsequently died on 21/11/2021;] then what the hell is this film doing seeing the light of day? Because on the other side of the coin Alec Baldwin had to fight a case of involuntary manslaughter charges that he was cleared of in 2024. So my point here is; we have two families that their lives were turned upside down over this tragic situation. On some research right at the end of this film there is a section focusing on Hutchins where briefly it does state that I am paraphrasing here that it was the wishes of her family to complete this project and to show her gives for the last time, which I can completely understand and respect.

So I cannot go up against the wishes of the family, before people bring up the legend known as Brendan Lee: two things: the first being; show some class and the second and much more important thing is; the main reason I would have liked this film to have been shelved: without giving too much away is unfortunately without giving too much away; the plot centres around someone being accidentally shot and no I'm not making this up, this is definitely one of those situations where you have to believe in through your teeth as being respectful life imitates art here, so if this wasn't a part of the plot, I would be generally okay with it, but as I said earlier or referenced earlier if the family is let's go with reasonably okay with it then I have to be as well. 

So I wish the innocent parties the best and RIP Halyna Hutchins 1979-2021
