THE BALLAD OF LEFTY BROWN (2017) ¢ ¢ ¢ 1/2
D: Jared Moshe
Bill Pullman, Peter Fonda, Kathy Baker,
Jim Caviezel, Tommy Flanagan, Diego Josef
Bill Pullman plays an old, illiterate cowboy out to avenge the murder of his partner, played by Peter Fonda. Which is kind of like if you made a Gary Cooper movie and killed off Gary Cooper about ten minutes in and turned the rest of the film over to Walter Brennan or Edgar Buchanan. It's a good role for Pullman, and Fonda gets just enough screen time to suggest what he might've done with something like "Unforgiven". The story's all about loyalty and betrayal, and people don't always get shot in the order you expect.
