Despite what it thinks about the world – there are several not-so-subtle comments made about Donald Trump’s Red State America – Hostiles is a rewarding movie that deserves to be given a shot. It might not be as great as Bale’s other Western, 3:10 to Yuma, but boy does it come close.

‘Hostiles’ captures this constant threat beautifully, with riveting moments of action and drama making it hard to predict who will make it out in the end. But amidst great performances and gorgeous cinematography, ‘Hostiles’ misses the mark by giving us just an overview of its real subject matter.

This is a film that left me in a ruminative after-shock. How can any film so violent be so gentle and calming?
