stunningly filmed by cinematographer Masanobu Takayanagi in the expansive tradition of the genre, Hostiles romanticizes vast landscapes and crimson-hued horizons
shot in New Mexico and Colorado, Hostiles is visually stunning.. Every gesture feels authentic.. Westerns can be a tough nut to crack, but "Hostiles" may be the finest example of the genre since "Unforgiven"
no doubt Joe and Rose's stories are interesting and compelling, but there persists this nagging feeling that their characters are somewhat co-opting this story.. As a story this thing could use some work, but as a piece of cinema it's pretty stunning
Masanobu Takayanagi's cinematography is gorgeous.. Bale and Pike are superb.. Cooper stages some very well executed run ins along the journey ..Clearly, Cooper's historical intentions are well founded and justified. No one would argue that point
like Cooper's Rust Belt faux-noir "Out Of The Furnace", it's an exercise in strained seriousness, the potential ironies and dramatic tensions lost in a repetitive, episodic, and politically vapid narrative
