Watch Brimstone For Free

Sadly Over-hyped

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It's impossible for anybody to say that they 'enjoyed' this film, because there's nothing at all to enjoy. It's a dark, bleak and utterly depressing film from the first scene to the last. What makes 'Brimstone' worth watching is its gripping storyline, first rate cinematography and fascinating bunch of character. It has the feel of a high end, expensive production and is difficult to fault in a technical sense.'Brimstone' is brutal and uncompromising in its approach and features no end of violence and torment. This contributes to a tense and depressing atmosphere which remains throughout the film. A lot of people will be put off by this alone, and I wouldn't recommend watching this film if you aren't in the mood for something emotionally deep and powerful. Those who give it a chance though are rewarded with a very well made film with a gripping storyline that, despite the truly miserable tone, is definitely worth your time.

BRIMSTONE is a watchable and well-directed western drama from the Netherlands. It has some pretty big flaws that are impossible to ignore, but a kind of surreal, slow-burning plot with biblical touches which get in your head. One thing I didn't like was the non-linear structure; this is told in four chapters but they don't take place chronologically, making it confusing at times. A logical progression, from beginning to end, would have been much better. At two and a half hours the film is also way too long and feeling padded at times, so some judicious cutting would have helped a treat. What this does feature is some fine acting, particularly from the great Guy Pearce who really relishes the chance to play a powerful and imposing villain. I'm less keen on Dakota Fanning, although the actress playing her younger self is very good and could go far. Kit Harrington features prominently on the cover but turns out to have a very small role considering. The film is starkly violent and very explicit at times, a gruelling and realistic experience; with a bit of tinkering it could have been a masterpiece.

About religion? Horrendous, sickening violence and perversion. Not worth the time to watch. I think the writer must have some problems.

Not bad, not good. it is a good drama, but with many flaws. dakota and guy are great actors, but i find the plot appealing TOO MUCH. about kit harington: the impression is that they put him in the cast just to fill sausage, unfortunately nothing had to add useful to the plot.
