In A Valley of violence
When John Travolta is on form he is absolutely magnetic. If he is enjoying a role then it is impossible not to enjoy watching him. Happy to say here he is having a whale of a time and elevates the film every time he is on screen. Not since Hairspray has he been this good, and he is similar to Broken Arrow or Face Off levels of fun
Ably driving the plot forward is Ethan Hawke who does a good grizzly haunted dog friendly gun slinger superbly.
Hats off to the ladies too and the excellent marshals son.
Ok so as always with a western the plot is not massively original.
But everything about the film is done well.
4/5
