There are no thrills in this western yarn, just a mounting series of tragedies that are by turns frustrating and numbing. Sep 7, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

While there are gunfights and everything concludes with a big shoot-out, the complexity of the situation and the murkiness of Tau's quest for redemption are anything but standard-order fare for a Western. Sep 5, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

A craggy, gutbucket epic full of slightly silly, mythopoetic grandeur and a tart taste of regional politics. It's amazing how well some tropes travel. Dec 7, 2018 | Full Review…

While the time is modern, some years after the end of apartheid, "Five Fingers" could easily be a part of the Leone Western canon. Oct 1, 2018 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…
