This will be a short blog because there isn't much to say about this film.
You are led to believe that Robert Pattinson as Samuel is rescuing the love of his life, Penelope (Mia Wasikowska) from her kidnapper, but that turns out not to be the case. She loved Anton (whom Samuel shoots right away so he is just a corpse). And Penelope is not to be reckoned with, able to use a firearm just as good any man. The film is grossly mistitled.
While it wasn't bad, I only found a few parts funny or interesting, like the stagecoach being a metaphor for death at the beginning and men comparing the size of their Adam's apples instead of penis size to prove how much a of man they are.
Sure, the performances are good, including one of the directors as Parson Henry who should receive star billing as he's in scenes with both of the main characters throughout the film. Despite the good performances, there is no point to this film, and that's unfortunate that such good performances are wasted with an interesting concept. Grade: B
