David, give him a chance in this one. The guy really wanted to reinvent himself and he poured his heart and soul into the role. It really pays off. This is a CMM you've never seen before and he never has a false moment.

Really?! I will have to eventually check it out then. And yeah, he did a pretty good job in AGENT CARTER. I will try and stay impartial until I can check this out.

The revival of the western is a good thing! Last year we had a few awesome ones. Slow west, the forsaken and the gruesome one: the tomahawk bone collector with the best baddies since ages... So i will certainly watch this, looks fine.

Western + Eastwood = got to be good right?

Looks quite cheap in the grading with that flickery line over the top. Will still give it a look I reckon.

Those were intentional film scratches and dirt to give it a look as though it was "pulled out of a vault" from the 60s. The film stock was underexposed to wash out the look, make it low contrast, and enhance the grain. May look "cheap" to you but in this day and age where digital video is the cheapest way, this imperfect look is much more expensive.

I caught this at Sundance along with many other films. It was a major crowd favorite. This was one of 3 that really stuck with me. The trailer does not do it justice - it's a much different film than you'd think. I'm defending the lead actor not because I "worked on the film". I'm defending the guy because he is absolutely incredible in this movie. The actors are incredible across the board. I saw 2 QandAs at Sundance because I was fascinated with how riveting and original this little film truly was. And it was refreshing to see something shot on real film stock for a change. Art is subjective, so you may not like it, but the "look" I thought worked incredibly well. The director spoke about how he thought westerns these days looked too clean and they decided they wanted the film to look almost like an old photograph - making the effort not to do it with modern CGI tricks in post, but with raw capture. Worked very well creatively, felt immersive.

This exchange is everything I love about firstshowing.

The effect looks a little cheap I mean, it's too clean, there's no grain in the footage and it looks very modern. I'm sure the movie will be great, just those lines stood out a bit.

Check it out if you have Apple TV on your actual television through your Apple TV device. I watched it the day It came out and you could really see the grain. In the theater it was incredibly grainy - almost too heavy on the grain if you ask me. I get what you're saying about the online trailer. I think the compression is doing it.

Cheers Sal, I will do, It's a very nerdy thing from me I think, it probably will have little impact on the story at all. Will definitely be checking it out.
