directed by Jeymes Samuel
Nat Love (Jonathan Majors) leads a few outlaws and one lawmen, Bass Reeves (Delroy Lindo), in the pursuit of Rufus Buck (Idris Elba), a notorious criminal who has just been pardoned. Love has a personal score to settle. Buck killed his parents when he was young. Buck controls the town of Redwood and it is there that Nat Love and his gang find Buck and his gang, most notably Trudy Smith (Regina King) and Cherokee Bill (LaKeith Stanfield).
Thoughts
Many of the characters in this movie were real people but the story itself is fiction. Not everyone makes it to the end of the movie. I found a couple of the deaths to be very moving.
This is a damn good movie. The pacing was excellent. The story kept moving forward. I did not get bored in the least bit. I really like the musical choices. Not all of the actors' performances were great but most of them felt on point. The ending was strong. I wasn't expecting it to be so heartfelt.
