This was definitely a western for a modern-day audience, and while the story and dialogue lacked in certain parts, the acting was stellar. Overall, this was a tremendous cast of exceptionally talented actors, and I have to state, the three female leads, Danielle Deadwyler, Regina King, and Zazie Beetz really stood out, as wonderful as the rest of the acting was. Ms. Deadwyler's performance was remarkable, and I'm going to now watch her filmography b/c of how impressive she was in this role. She nailed her character to a tee!

Edi Gathegi was also right on point in his role, and as I watched this, I couldn't help but think how underrated Delroy Lindo is as an actor. He has been so good for so long in so many roles, and he really deserves much more credit than he actually receives.

Overall, while the story could have been written for more dramatic effect, rather than the blood and guts style of Quentin Tarantino, and the dialogue could have stood a few revisions, the cast really saved this film. I believe that if this film had been written as more of a drama, rather than an action film, it would've received rave reviews.
