Many can say what they want, but one thing is not up for debate – Ridley Scott knows how to shoot a fighting scene. Within the first minutes – the horse and the cannonball – tell you you’re up for some visual masterpieces. I instantly remembered The Duel and how I thought at that moment … Read more
It’s long, starts slow, but picks up towards the end. It’s a movie worth seeing, but this raises another question: can you rewatch Killers of the Flower Moon? Or The Irishman? Don’t look up?
