The synopsis doesn't mention Sam Rockwell's character, but rest assured-- he's in the movie. Hit the jump to check out the synopsis. Arizona Territory. A stranger Craig with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution.
The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Considering director's Jon Favreau fun and exciting Iron-man outings this offering is less satisfying. It's not the mishmash of classic genres that's the problem, it's the lazy, predicable story telling.
The films opening is strong and intriguing, building up to the tension of Ford's character Colonel Woodrow Dolarhyde meeting with Craig's Jake; its Jones meets Bond, perfect. Both are excellent giving weight to the proceedings. Horses are flipped, guns and gauntlets go wild, aliens leap and stomp on cowboys.
But after the first few alien attacks the film wavers onto familiar territory. Although it has a fabulous cast beneath its hat and sweeping, breathtaking Western landscapes under it's belt - it buckles under it's own weight. Even with its somewhat serious tone it's not brave enough to explore or commit to its own themes leaving it underdeveloped. But it also omits much needed fun leaving the whole film unseasoned and as empty as the plains of Arizona.
Debatably, flop Wild Wild West infused the sci-fi and Western genre more successfully. Cowboys and Aliens is entertaining, it looks good, has a superb cast but it's painfully predictable and just not that great. FAQ 7.
