Wild Bill (2011)

In good old time-honoured fashion this film alludes to an old Western. It paints the characters carefully making sure you can spot the baddies. Even though Wild Bill must have been every inch a baddie too you are not shown exactly just how bad, so that you can then cheer from his corner when the big pay off happens. That scene takes place in a pub, that's the old saloon. Wild Bill shows what he's made of and beats up half the clients (thugs). Mind you, he does it in style which makes me think he must have known some Japanese or Chinese masters. I got sucked in and enjoyed the revenge like most people will. But after you walk away you can't help feeling like someone deliberately tugged a few of your emotional strings and basically you've been had. It was Hign noon at O.K Corall all over again.
