ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The Couchpotatoes It's hard to find a good western. In this genre of movies there are a lot of lame movies. But I do like westerns when they are well shot and with a better story then we're used to. Like the old westerns with Clint Eastwood. He has a character face to play those roles. And so when I saw that his son was playing in this movie I was a bit curious about it. But despise that he has a lot of the same mimics as his father there is a huge difference in the acting. Diablo is just not a good western. It's slow, boring and even with this cast it never peaks. The story-line starts promising but the more you get to the end the more it becomes messy. If I were you I would watch a classic one instead of this one.

trashgang Isn't it dangerous to follow into the footsteps of your father? They will always compare you with your father. Just watch this western. Scott Eastwood is playing the leading role. Immediately you will think of the old spaghetti westerns with Clint Eastwood, Scott's father.Sure, Scott has the looks and sometimes he even has the same expressions as his father but does it make a good western.I found it hard to follow. The script is simple, save your wife being abducted by Mexicans. But it didn't work out as the old school westerns. The editing was terrible. Just look at faces how they are different between cuttings. Not only that, it even remind me of Police Squad. There's a shoot-out going on and people are maybe a few meters from Scott and still they can't hit him. Even the ending is awkward. Another gun fight and what is happening when they pull the trigger is never shown. Weird western that do has it moments but also has it flows.Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

rob-2411 Saw this on a plane and to be honest I didn't realize who played the main character right away, but later on boy does he look like Clint.I found the movie to be captivating from the outset, but plot holes began to erode the story. Still mostly enjoyed the film, even as credibility waned near the end.I thought the scenery was great and the use of drones for overhead shots really captured the striking landscape, but from the beginning I started to be puzzled by many things...How long would it take him to ride from snow covered mountains to Mexico on horseback? Why did he continue to catch up to the Mexicans regardless of how long he was not riding (no horse, injured, etc).Goggins was great and stole the screen in every shot.I wondered near the end if the main character was akin to the Ghost Rider, where he cannot actually be shot - or maybe nobody really tried - but why? Why do all the Mexicans run toward a gunfight, without guns being drawn and pointed, and firing? How many actual shots were directed at Eastwood? I'd say very few, remarkably.Finally it appeared at the end, the film makers ran out of time, money or interest and came up with a quick ending and not a very good one.Overall, a decent movie weakened by plot holes and that feeling of being cheated in the end.

scott_e_klein Somewhere between the 9th and 12th scene, E/Jr. is riding in the foreground and looking over his shoulder at a modern day town. True, when I stopped the movie, and looked, all cars and trucks were out of sight, but still...no single man on horseback would blow off coming into town without stopping by for a drink: either for his horse or himself. Im not sure if this qualifies as a spoiler alert, but its the scene prior to his meeting up with Danny Glover's character for the first time. What I hate about cheesy westerns, is that the director can't be bothered to show a cowboy bringing along feed in a bag for the horses, nor can he be bothered to show a colt .45 shooting only 6 shots. Burt Reynolds, in his autobiography "But Enough About Me" says "I guess that's why its called a colt 45, cuz the Director lets you take 45 or so shots before reloading." My family is native American on my mom's side, and horse wrangling ranchers on my dad's. So, yeah, this really bothers me. Get it right, guys, or I will stop renting your crap at the video store.
