This Western had a slick visual style that needed a big screen. The vibrant color grading, stylized shootouts, and elaborate set design made it stand out. The sound design, including gunfire and the energetic score, had a dynamic quality that was dulled on smaller devices. The film’s action sequences were staged like classic Western showdowns, meant to be seen in full scale. A theatrical experience would have enhanced the tension and spectacle that made this film feel larger than life.
