Mad Mikkelsen (who seems to be able to play anything well) is a Danish settler who's having a difficult time getting into the groove of the 1870's American frontier. Sounds pretty interesting so far but within 10 minutes into the film, it forgets all that and turns into a paint-by-numbers western revenge flick. There's some interesting moments of creativity with the action and camerawork but that's few and far between. Eva Green's presence is a delight, as her mute character speaks louder than words in this formulaic snoozefest. With lowered expectations Western enthusiasts might get a bit out of it but should be prepared to forget all about it within the day.
