Quick review

The good
A twisting plot that keeps you guessing until the final reel, Tommy Lee Jones’ grizzled central performance, An insightful special features package
The bad
Some may find the quieter, arty moments too slow for comfort, there are less violent action scenes than you would expect in a traditional Western
Verdict
A strange combination of absurdist humour and religious allegory this ranks as one of the finest Westerns since “Unforgiven”
