NEVER TAKE OFF THE MASK.
Lawyer John Reid (Armie Hammer) arrives in Texas in 1869 and is immediately drawn into a hunt for an outlaw (William Fichtner) that ends in tragedy ā and a new career for John. The Pirates of the Caribbean crew and star lie behind this blockbuster adaptation of the classic matinĆ©e idol from radio, TV and movies. A box-office and critical failure, the movie is bloated but book-ended by spectacular (and funny) action sequences involving trains. Plenty of nods to the original and thereās an ambition to portray Native Americans as human beings, not stereotypical sidekicks. Hammer and Johnny Depp make a fun duo.
