Look, I go into a pulpy western, I'd like to rob trains or something, not sell snake oil. The samey mission structure doesn't help. But I love the combat.

As for narrative...the overtly whitewashy nature of the various subplots (eugenics feels like it gets a thumbs up, of all things?) and the breathtakingly bad dialogue ruin the overall expereince. It's all misanthropic and unpleasant, which is fine if you know what you're doing, but they don't. Watch this scene to see what I mean about it being flabby. It takes place about halfway through, so spoilers. The Coen Brothers this is not.

But phoo-wee, the gunplay is fun.
