hough recycled, the story is well plotted and paced, and the old hands in the cast elevate the familiar material.

For what it's worth, Jared Moshe seems genuinely interested in the role of unflagging decency in a sullied world.

Film Frenzy

The scrappy first half eventually gives way to a second hour that grows increasingly routine with its newfound emphasis on personal betrayal and political corruption. But it's nice to see Pullman handed a plum leading role.

Rated: 2.5/4

The Upcoming

The Ballad of Lefty Brown is a highly entertaining Western that's worth going along with for the ride, even if the stagnant finale is unable to live up to the rest.

Rated: 3/5

There's a lot to enjoy in The Ballad of Lefty Brown's deconstruction of the western's emblematic sidekick character.

I loved how it's not your typical shoot em up western, and that it contains alot of information to the story line.

It's kind of predictable and I've seen many similar situations before in other westerns but I still liked it. Bill Pullman was excellent as usual. It's definitely worth the watch.

The movie was very good, with lovely acting performances. Friendship trump's ruthless ambition. You have to be patient with the pacing, and the character development is sometimes a bit flawed in my opinion, but the "payoff" is worth it. The thing I most admire about it is the sense of frontier justice. You just can't do certain things back then: stealing a horse, rustling, taking a life, etc.
