I saw the original at the cinema and I can remember enjoying it, but make no mistake it was a simple film, and essentially a western about a saloon owner in trouble with local outlaws. Fast forward to the remake and my wife said I want to watch this, but cant really remember much about the old one. I said it's a western etc. So, when the new version gives its own nod to this idea it did make me smile. But what is it like? On a Friday night with a couple of drinks we really enjoyed it, even Connor McGregor hamming it up. Like the original film it's good fun, all you need do is disengage your brain and go with it. The central story is essentially the same but the film is different because of its setting annd back story etc. Jake plays a really good part, and works well in the role. The rest of the cast perform as you would expect, though Arturo Castro's character is arguably more hammy than McGregors, which is surprising considering how talented an actor he is.
Everyone else stays in their lane and the film provides exactly what you want on a Friday evening. Solid, unchallenging entertainment.
