Review of Briarpatch

Briarpatch (2019–2020)
7/10
For fans of Justified, Terriers, and Grosse Pointe Blank
21 February 2021
Visually interesting with moments of beauty. Intricate plotting. Rosario Dawson looks amazing and plays a character drawn in a classic male archetype. She strides in her heels as firmly as Eastwood or Olyphant.

Tidily wrapped up although they left some room for more if someone has a great idea. Excellent cast including Stan from Mad Men doing a Texan Nathan Fillion and nailing it. You'll recognize almost everyone you see.

It doesn't reach the level of Justified at its best but it's in that vein. Nothing could top Terriers for character development and heart. But if you imagine that Cusack came back in town for revenge not just a reunion....you'll see the clear parallels. And add a dash of Lonestar while you're at it.

Well worth the watch for anyone who likes beautiful ass kicking women, dark humor, noir in the sunshine or tigers.
