Has anyone seen ‘Apache Junction’? Most of the westerns they make to day are so bad, most a ‘WOKE’ trash a gun slinging woman or a Homo Erotica/Leather thrash like the remake of ‘3:10 to Yuma’
I’ve not seen Apache Junction, which also came out this year. The four I mentioned are all new films this year that I had noticed when scanning the festival lists. They were all getting enough buzz to put them on a watchlist. I also googled “2021 Westerns” to see if I was overlooking anything. Apache Junction was listed but it was so poorly reviewed that I didn’t want to recommend it here. If someone has a different opinion, I’m willing to listen.
The challenge is finding the good films amidst all the chaff. If a film has been selected for a major festival, it has passed at least one threshold of seriousness. I’ll scan a festival list, read the short blurbs and, if I’m interested in the synopsis or like the actors, I’ll watch a trailer or read a couple of reviews. That’s about as scientific as I get.
Last good western I saw was Appaloosa.
I think you saw a different 3:10 to Yuma remake than I did.
