•I only became aware of this movie recently but knew I had to see it when I found out it was written and directed by Taylor Sheridan. He’s the one who wrote Sicario, Hell or High Water, and Wind River (he directed this too). Sheridan is an amazingly talented person and if you haven’t seen any of the movies I just mentioned I strongly urge you to do so.
•It was nice seeing Angelina Jolie in a movie again. It’s certainly been awhile. While it was a little hard for me to buy her as a firefighter she played the part well.
•Strong supporting cast
•As with Sheridan’s other work there’s some really beautiful locations and cinematography.
•There’s lots of thrilling, intense scenes that had me on the edge of my seat.
Cons:
•There’s some awful dialogue in the beginning that had me cringing so bad I had to look away from the screen. Luckily it got much better after that but still.
•Even though I did like this movie quite a bit and I recommend you see it, it was definitely Sheridan’s weakest work to date. That being said even a weak movie of his is still a million times better than most of the stuff out there.
•The villains here were pretty forgettable, despite being played by two actors I normally like.
•For those who are wondering about Tyler Perry’s role in this- all it is was a cameo. He had maybe two minutes of screen time tops. Honestly they could’ve cut his scene and it would’ve had no impact on the movie whatsoever.
•The ending felt a bit rushed.
My Rating: 7.5/10
