"Samuel L Jackson makes a fine western antagonist, equipping his character with a complex emotional depth, contrasting his darker motives in the backdrop of a revenge narrative."
"Henry Broadway's quest for revenge leads him through a series of encounters with various characters, including a Blackfoot seeking vengeance and a duplicitous priest, unraveling layers of deceit."
In a complex narrative, Samuel L Jackson portrays a captivating antagonist alongside a young man, Henry Broadway, seeking revenge against Sheriff Butler for his father's wrongful execution. Henry learns of his father's entanglement in a stolen Confederate gold scheme involving various characters like Gabriel Dove and a vengeful Blackfoot. Despite engaging scenes, the film struggles with pacing and clarity, leaving its protagonists underdeveloped until the late emergence of a surrogate family theme. Director Richard Gray excels in action but falters during quieter moments, though the strong cast maintains the film's appeal.
