This cast...the director...these are talented people. But this movie did exactly none of them any favors.
The cinematography would be great if it weren't for the sepia toned filter borrowed from an cellphone's basic camera settings. Set design and costumes are excellent
The directing would be vastly improved, if it weren't for the terrible editing. Fading out in a scene or a sudden cut (or needlessly lingering on a shot) certainly puts a damper on the otherwise good performances.
Christoph Waltz, Willem Dafoe, Rachel Brosnahan - these are great performers. Warren Burke and Brandon Scott were fantastic, and I was not familiar with either prior to this flick.
One can definitely tell that the budget was next to nothing. They could only afford one bottle to explode as its use as target practice. Instead of a fist fight or shootout; two characters go Mano a Mano with bullwhips!
With a proper budget (and there were at least four production companies listed), this story would have potential.
