714952, It played directly to so many things I love.

Neo-Western? Check.
Sharp, often funny dialogue? Check.
Gorgeous cinematography? Check.
Slow burn thrill sequences? Check.
Bridges and Foster chewing scenery? Check and check.
Nick Cave music? Check.

I was also really impressed with Pine here. You'd think his straight man would get lost among Bridges and Foster, but he holds his own. Bridges' cop partner in the film gives a strong performance as well as Bridges' straight man.

It's not breaking any ground for plot originality, but it's a damn good time. If you dug Sicario and dig most of the descriptions I give above, I'd definitely seek it out.
