While it may seem like Westerns are dying out, there have been a few welcome additions to the genre in recent years and demand for them is certainly still there, even if it is dwindling. 'Hostiles' is another solid classic-style Western - slow-moving, atmospheric, and character-oriented. It ticks all the boxes for fans of the genre.
An explosive and dramatic opening sets up the story nicely and it held my interest throughout, which is not always the case with longer films. The film looks great, it is beautifully shot and the cinematography is impressive. Bale and Pike deliver strong performances and I could buy into the characters and the story.
'Hostiles' is an enjoyable film all round and definitely a Western worth watching. Let's hope they continue making films like this.
