    Doesn’t reinvent the wheel but is truly one of the best neo-westerns available.

    Though it could’ve used more indigenous perspective over solely following Dunbar, this revisionist western subverts the genre and changes the western to be about compassion and change rather than one of violence. It brings to the forefront the conflict of living in a world that was built from the genocide of a culture and people.

    Quite possibly one of the greatest movies ever made

    ★★★★★

    Though The Force Awakens does verge into near-remake territory it does so incredibly well with terrific direction, editing and pacing from a JJ Abrams that is at the top of his game. 

    Introducing great new characters brought to life wonderfully by their actors, the force awakens gives a movie that is both very familiar and often brand new. Everybody behind and in front of the camera is at the top of their game making an incredibly satisfying and enjoyable movie that sets the stage well for an even better sequel.
