The Dead Don't Hurt Synopsis:
The Dead Don’t Hurt is a story of star-crossed lovers on the western U.S. frontier in the 1860s. Vivienne Le Coudy (Vicky Krieps) is a fiercely independent woman who embarks on a relationship with Danish immigrant Holger Olsen (Viggo Mortensen). After meeting Olsen in San Francisco, she agrees to travel with him to his home near the quiet town of Elk Flats, Nevada, where they start a life together. The outbreak of the civil war separates them when Olsen makes a fateful decision to fight for the Union. This leaves Vivienne to fend for herself in a place controlled by corrupt Mayor Rudolph Schiller (Danny Huston) and his unscrupulous business partner, powerful rancher Alfred Jeffries (Garrett Dillahunt). Alfred’s violent, wayward son Weston (Solly McLeod) aggressively pursues Vivienne, who is determined to resist his unwanted advances. When Olsen returns from the war, he and Vivienne must confront and make peace with the person each has become. Both a tragic love story and a nuanced depiction of the conflict between revenge and forgiveness, The Dead Don’t Hurt is a portrait of a passionate woman determined to stand up for herself in an unforgiving world dominated by ruthless men.
Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 1 Synopsis:
“HORIZON: AN AMERICAN SAGA” films One and Two will have a dual theatrical release, kicking off June 28-in time for Independence Day-with the second film debuting August 16
In the great tradition of Warner Bros. Pictures’ iconic Westerns, “Horizon: An American Saga” explores the lure of the Old West and how it was won-and lost-through the blood, sweat and tears of many. Spanning the four years of the Civil War, from 1861 to 1865, Costner’s ambitious cinematic adventure will take audiences on an emotional journey across a country at war with itself, experienced through the lens of families, friends and foes all attempting to discover what it truly means to be the United States of America.
Costner stars alongside an impressive ensemble cast that includes Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone, Owen Crow Shoe, Tatanka Means, Ella Hunt, Tim Guinee, Danny Huston, Colin Cunningham, Scott Haze, Tom Payne, Abbey Lee, Michael Rooker, Will Patton, Georgia MacPhail, Douglas Smith, Luke Wilson, Isabelle Fuhrman, Jamie Campbell Bower, Alejandro Edda, Wasé Winyan Chief, Michael Anganaro, Angus Macfadyen, Jon Beavers, Alex Nibley, Kathleen Quinlan, Etienne Kellici, Amos Jason Charging Cloud, Bodhi Okuma Linton, Gregory Cruz, James Russo, Jeff Fahey, David O’Hara, Chris Conner, Leroy M. Silva, Bernardo Velasco, Tom Everett, Glynn Turman, Giovanni Ribisi and more.
Costner returns to directing for the first time since his 2003 critically acclaimed hit “Open Range,” and revisits Civil War-era America, the setting for his 1990 blockbuster and directorial debut, “Dances with Wolves,” which won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.

I dont know what youre talking about Horizon isnt even complete yet i am totally invested. I cant wait to see the next chapter

@QTReviews 2 месяца назад

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed Horizon. Unfortunately, I didn't, and that's okay.

@redrobotmonkey 2 месяца назад

@@QTReviews I didn't like the 1st chapter as a movie, but I can't wait to see the rest of the Horizon movies. I just feel like it would have been better as a mini series or show.

@QTReviews 2 месяца назад

I'm also looking forward to the rest of the chapters. I hope I enjoy them more than I did the first one.

@@redrobotmonkey How are these films any different than the Lord of The Rings trilogy?? Are those better as a miniseries?? Look at Rings of Power

The only real Problem with Horizon is that it should have been a TV show. If it was episodic on a Streaming service People would be calling it the next Game of Thrones. I was struck by it's historical accuracy and can't wait to see part two and get the entire saga on Blu-ray.

@redrobotmonkey 2 месяца назад

Couldn't agree more. The problem with making it a movie, is people need to have seen the previous instalments to care, and even if they did, they may still forget. TV shows they can easily look up a recap video, not so easy watching a movie in theatres. I am sure they will do a recap before the next movie, but how many people will even bother watching that? Also that is almost never done for movies in theatres.

@QTReviews 2 месяца назад

A movie of this scope could be done in a theatrical format. The problem that I had was in the execution. Making a movie is hard enough. Making a good movie is almost impossible, but it can and has been done.

Horizon was a great movie. It’s not even close to complete and I really think it’s going to pick up and do better. The dead don’t hurt was not a good movie. I love both viggo Mortensen and Kevin Costner. With that don’t hurt it’s probably the worst way I’ve seen Viggo do. It was really hard to sit through.

Movies are subjective, and I'm glad to hear you loved Horizon. I didn't love Horizon, and you didn't like The Dead Don't Hurt and that's okay. We're both entitled to feel the way we do.

How the West Was Won, part of it was also during the Civil War. It was a 3 hour movie made in 1962

The Dead Don't Hurt might of worked but it was hardly in any theaters and was gone in a blink of an eye. I wanted to see it. I just couldn't find it playing around me.

@QTReviews 3 месяца назад

I'm sorry you didn't get a chance to watch it at the theater. Unfortunately, smaller films usually have a limited theatrical run and are not shown at every theater.

@brucef310 3 месяца назад

The dead don't hurt has a complete story because it's not part 1 of a 4 series saga.

@QTReviews 3 месяца назад

Yes, that's correct.

@daveclark8337 2 месяца назад

They've already pulled Horizon out of the theaters. Flopped so bad it didn't even last a month. Bad Boys 4 with Will 'Slappy" Smith is still selling tickets 2 months later.

@QTReviews 2 месяца назад

I think I heard the movie is doing well on VOD, but I could be wrong.

@loslobos786 2 месяца назад

Horizon is killing it on Vod & ITunes. The problem isn't that it's a bad movie, the problem is that people don't want to leave their house to see a movie, especially a long movie. The only way you're going to get people back in theaters is for something special like a Deadpool and Wolverine movie. Also Bad Boys ride or die made just under or just over $400 Million With a $100 Million production costs which as a nice round number is rather suspicious. As a big budget movie it also means that it's Marketing was at least $150 Million. So we can safely say that it probably actually cost some where in the ball park of 300 to 350 Million to make. So it wasn't really a big hit if it was even that. Next time you pick an example of a Hit try to remember the dirty little secret of Hollywood. That due to the high costs of these movies if they don't pass the 500 million mark they don't even break even. So in reality Bad Boys wasn't a hit it was a dude as well.

@@loslobos786 Horizon opened at #1 on VOD because it was the Only new release that week. Since then, it's dropped down behind all those same movies that beat it at the box office: A Quiet Place 3, Bad Boys 4, The Fall Guy, Furiosa, Despicable Me 4 etc etc. Even if Horizon were to hit $10 million in video sales, it's Still $100 million in the negative.

Unfamiliar with Horizon but I did struggle to get through TDDH two weeks ago. Wouldn’t even have made for a decent time-killing TV movie. Poorly realized characters, bland dialogue and situations, no satisfaction at any point. Especially not the death of that cringeworthy villain; he “gets the drop” on some dummy pointing a rifle directly at him, then at the end he’s fatally wounded in similar fashion. Ooh, full circle. 🙄 Nothing worked in that lackluster, run of the mill Western. Vicky Kreps is the only one worth watching, and her character isn’t allowed to stick with one lingo nor is she fleshed-out worth a hoot. You’ll know nothing about her motivations when it’s (finally) over. Stick with Appaloosa for a far more enjoyable Viggo in a Western vehicle.

I personally liked TDDH, but I can see others not liking it as much. Vicky was the best thing about the movie.
