Red Hill


Red Hill
This is what the movie, "Jonah Hex," should of been like.
Excellent dark western/drama/revenge flick
from Australia.
It played at Fantastic Fest last year but
I was unable to see it.
I like the nice set up here.
New constable in town and his first day,
he has to deal with an escaped convict coming
back to kill everyone in that town for his revenge.
My favorite scene: Jimmy the killer
goes up to the jukebox and selects a song while in
the middle of killing the townspeople.
Music starts and he shoots someone behind him.
There's a lot of other great moments.

Unlike the True Grit remake, this western surprised
me personally and delivered the goods.
Fantastic!
