Hostiles benefits from stunning visuals and a solid central performance from Christian Bale, both of which help elevate its uneven story.

The journey is beautifully shot by cinematographer Masanobu Takayanagi, but Bale's genius is wasted-he's often resigned to looking sullen and straining to recite the clunky dialogue. March 3, 2018 | Full Review…

By turns deliberative and chaotic, brutal and merciful, definitely bleak and just maybe hopeful, Hostiles could have ended with its penultimate scene, but it would have been a very different movie. January 26, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Clearly influenced by classic Westerns, particularly the films of director John Ford, "Hostiles" is a worthy addition to the genre. January 25, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

As a handsome-looking western, Hostiles does the trick, but when it tries to probe deeper, it just comes up short. January 19, 2018 | Full Review…

At the least, it's a plea for history not to repeat itself - with plenty of gut-check thrills and perilous storytelling to heighten the mood. July 22, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Cooper riffs on John Ford's The Searchers in a minor key, filling Hostiles with sweeping vistas that recall the grand Monument Valley locations that graced so many classic westerns. June 3, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

If Phantom Thread was truly Daniel Day-Lewis' last movie, the title of Greatest Living Actor is now vacant; look to Christian Bale at the front of the queue of possible replacements. April 16, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…

It's simply a mediocre film, stuffed with filler dialogue and a surfeit of slow-motion closeups substituting for any real character development. February 19, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
