Too much of everything
Save your money for something good and enjoyable
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
For fans of westerns, "Justice" is a "been there, saw that" film. The story was probably written about 1868 or so. That's the time the movie takes place. "Justice" is so predictable, and has so many western clichés, that it is unintentionally funny. Off the top of their cowboy hats, western fans can devise two or three plot turns that might (accent on might) make the film better. Other than the evil town mayor, played by the always-great Stephen Lang, the other major roles are either miscast (the heroine) or incompetent (the hero), who acts like Clint Eastwood (accent on acts like). Don't waste your time in this town, pardner.
Gee, I saw four guys, four writers wrote this screenplay, at first I thought it would be good since there were four guys sat together to patch up all the illogical holes for each other. But unfortunately, they all turned out to be morons and certified by this lousy movie.The reverend/preacher wrote a letter to his brother in the church, but before he got the chance to send it out, not by email or priority mail or express mail or registered mail, he was killed and then burnt to death with the church, including the desk he wrote that letter, which he put inside when a barmaid came to him seeking for help.Funny thing is later when his veteran brother came to town seeking him out, all he could find was a burn-down church site. Miraculously, the woman who took him to his brother's burial site took out that letter his preacher brother never got the chance to mail to him. The whole church was gone, the preacher brother was burnt to death, might just some ashes left later for burial, everything was burnt and gone, yet the un-mailed letter miraculously survived.Lousy movie with bad screenplay, bad directing, bad acting, bad....nothing is good. Don't even think about watching it, just don't bother, man.YOU THINK I AM THAT STUPID LIKE YOU FOUR GUYS, THE DIRECTOR AND THE WHOLE PRODUCTION GROUP?!!! Jesus.....
I love a good western so much that I can even enjoy a fair to medium one. This one never rose to the lowest level. I also write for the stage so I recognize good writing. And directing. Let me list a few glaring shortcomings here: Writing. Directing. Sets. Make up. Costumes. Probably more. Everything seemed to be deficient. Perhaps the actors could have been good . . . but not when living with these problems. This production -for most involved- will probably be poisonous to their careers and for this I sympathize with them. One star. It goes downhill from there. During the credits at the end of "Justice", I noticed the names listed for the people in town and those who appeared as Army soldiers. It is entitled: TOWNSPEOPLE AND CALVERY. Suddenly I realized that my earlier, unflattering remarks were well deserved. Make it ½ star.
The screenplay for this movie is slow, ridiculous and stupid. Many things are not plausible, especially at the end (spoiler alert, if you can spoil THIS movie) where a wooden cross 10 feet up falls over to impale the bad guy in the chest, right side up. Then the good guy says "thank you" to his dead preacher brother. Wow.There is some good acting by a couple of actors, but unfortunately, the dialogue is dumb.
