Review of Blackthorn

Blackthorn (2011)
7/10
Great performances, vague morality
28 October 2012
Awesome lead performance, but we wouldn't suspect or expect anything else. But we also get one of the better known Spanish actors of the past 10 years in (if I'm not mistaken) his first English speaking role. He does a great job and can also be seen in one of the shorts that is on the DVD, also directed by the man responsible for this movie. The story is more than convincing too.

One of the things that might not be your thing, is the morality tale in this. Apart from some minor story issues (Stephen Reas character for example, although he has the gravitas to pull it off), this is another showcase of why Western movies are entertaining to watch. There are a few factors playing into that of course and the "Genre" has changed a lot over the years. But like a good cowboy, it won't stay down
