A simple but smoldering throwback to the days when all you needed to make a decent action film was a big star, a striking location, and a few cold henchman carrying those fancy machine guns with the red laser sights, Taylor Sheridan’s .

Except the job — snuffing any and everyone who might know something about the crime they’re trying to cover up — is far from done.
The killers now turn their attention to Connor, and they’re ruthless enough to start a forest fire to cover their tracks (and maybe barbecue the...
