Blake- N @PBSAniDom May 30, 2026 Mohawke does not deserve to be dismissed with a lower rating like many other western films. It may not be perfect, but it has enough style, atmosphere, and character to stand out in a genre that is often judged too harshly. What makes it work is its strong sense of tone and the way it keeps the story engaging without relying on cheap gimmicks. There is a rough charm to it that makes the film easy to appreciate, especially for viewers who enjoy westerns with personality. It may have its flaws, but Mohawke is still a worthwhile watch and better than the lower ratings suggest. I would call it a decent, underrated western that earns a 5/10 from me. See more
Aug 21, 2015 The color for this obviously set bound Western is gorgeous, the feature's best feature, but the rest is on the hokey side. See more
