Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

jamalking15 Great cinematography and music. Acting was reasonable, and the story had great potential. With the list of A-list stars I was hoping for a bit more to the story. Would have been a 6 or so, but the outlandish and out of place scene with James Spader, towards the end kind of killed it for me. Could have been a great theme of every human having value despite issues, but story fell short and not even A-listers could save it. Towards the end even the actors seemed to lose conviction in their story telling. Finally at the end, the laser-cut perfectly straight modern font on a wooden tombstone kinda demonstrates the lackluster effort the producers put into making the story believable.

J.Martin With a solid cast and a first class performance from Hilary Swank The Homesman is closer to grasp life in the Midwest as it really was better than most films I have ever seen. Dear viewer we must acknowledge that bad things happen, and we tend to think well now that something bad has happen something good has to follow, as if life was keeping track of our scores ready to compensate us for the bad blows. Sadly that's not the case.If you are looking for a story with a happy ending Hollywood style The Homesman is not for you, you have been warned. But if you want to put on the shoes of people from a time and place that you will never know and feel like you've been there, felt the frightening vastness of that territory and the terrifying fragility of life, then come along, even if it's not a happy time it will unquestionably be authentic and true-to-life as you will ever see on a western.And still if you look close enough you will find kindness, and that string of hope that we need to keep going.Enjoy.

Irishchatter I honestly thought the pair of them did pretty good performances as their characters. Mind you, I thought this movie was really sad because their characters were bringing three women who weren't able to look after themselves anymore and Swank's character commits suicide. The fact,Tommy Lee Jones' character got a customised grave head from the town he bought the three women in and then an ignorant man pushed it through the river, made it really gut wrenching. I wish that wasn't including in the ending, I would've rathered if we saw him jump into the river and got it even if he was suppose to be drunk. That would've been a better ending than that to be honest.....At least he got the three women safe and sound with Meryl Streep's character despite their horrible journey.This movie was well done but very very sad, I give this a rating of 8/10!!!!!!!!!!

alan-nutter This is a short comment to warn of a very disturbing scene in the first 15 minutes of this movie. It's a scene that'll stay with me for the next few days at least, I suspect and one I'll always think of if the subject of this film ever comes up going forward. If you can get past this, however, there is an otherwise decent, if mostly bleak, movie to be found. I say mostly because there are also some uplifting messages here if you look for them. Personally, I'm glad I watched it, but it certainly won't be for everyone. I marked these comments as a spoiler to be safe, although I've deliberately tried to write them so as not to give too much away.
