movie review - A Million Ways to Die in the West

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2018.12.29

As I was watching this, it began to dawn on me that it was mostly just alternating shots of two people speaking. So I started moving the old slider and found that yes, that was the large majority of the movie. The two leads speaking directly at each other.

I gave up due to the unfunny hamming, the lack of at least some compelling action that comes with the Western genre, and yes, the talking.

Not recommended.
