Watching this as a strong woman who grew up a tomboy and absolutely adores stories of women who have to disguise themselves as men to prove their ferocity:
The film is excellent up until the end. The character's morality becomes an annoyance and a very flawed motivation in act 3.
Man, I really got upset Mo and Tommy didn't team up. The characters bonded so well and had the makings of a perfect outlaw couple for all the right reasons. That would have been WAY more interesting and closer to 3:10 to Yuma or other westerns this references. Tommy even says it himself! "We could've been more than all this!"
And he was right.
Mo's morality made zero sense. I wanted more character depth. More character story. More warmth from Mo's character. More understanding and humanity. The metaphor of the two characters overcoming differences to realize they were the same person underneath could have been SO powerful. But no - she had to hold onto her victimhood and retaliate out of pride?! For what?! Because random white men told her to?!
This movie could have been GREAT!
Where is the writer of the ending?! I have some strong words to say!
