The Ballad of Lefty Brown
I like a good western but like all good things they are hard to come by. We live in a world where our movie heroes wear capes not a gun belt and a Stetson. So when a journey back to Montana 1889 becomes available I'm saddled up and ready to go. The Ballad of Lefty Brown is a simple tale about a man who sets out on a quest to avenge the murder of his best friend. This movie benefits from a career best performance by Bill Pullman as Lefty. He transforms himself into the hapless hero with a strong accent and partially crippled physicality. There's strong support too from the likes of Tommy Flanagan, Jim Caviezel, Kathy Baker and Peter Fonda. Ultimately this is Pullman's show as our unlikely hero seeks justice. The audience will root for the titular character because director Jared Moshe devotes just enough time to develop his hero. This film isn't one of the genres best but it goes along way in keeping western movie magic alive. I recommend that you check this film out especially if like me you are an occasional fan of the genre
