While it may seem like Westerns are dying out, there have been a few welcome additions to the genre in recent years and demand for them is certainly still there, even if it is dwindling. 'Hostiles' is another solid classic-style Western - slow-moving, atmospheric, and character-oriented. It ticks all the boxes for fans of the genre.
An explosive and dramatic opening sets up the story nicely and it held my interest throughout - not always the case with longer films. The film looks great, it is beautifully shot and the cinematography is impressive. Bale and Pike deliver strong performances and I could buy into the characters and the story.
'Hostiles' is an enjoyable film all round and definitely a Western worth watching. Let's hope they continue making films like this.
