The Western is perhaps the quintessential genre in American fiction. It dominated the box office and small-screen for decades, though it has waned somewhat in recent years. Nevertheless, movies and TV shows continue to borrow story elements and visual techniques from this timeless genre. Tales of outlaws and lawmen fighting for dominance are everywhere, from horror and drama to sci-fi and comedy.
Like a gunslinger from a classic Western, Bill is uncomfortable with bureaucracy and frequently takes matters into his own hands. He bends the rules, but only to protect the citizens he serves. For example, Bill frequently flouts protocol by heading to the front lines, taking part in raids, and putting himself in the thick of danger. He even leads his comrades on several horseback assaults. Dorff is solid in the role, helping to keep all the drama and action grounded.
Vegas is a quintessential Western story , but transplanted to the unusual setting of Swinging Sixties Las Vegas. James Mangold, director of 3:10 to Yuma and Logan, executive produced it and directed the pilot, and his visual influence is clear to see. Vegas had potential but was unfortunately canceled after one season, depriving audiences of what could have been a riveting neo-Western.
Preacher is rapidly paced and bursting with violence, demonstrating executive producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's commitment to the source material. It's a gleefully demented story involving vampires, outlaws, long-dead historical figures, and the literal Devil. Custer's journey across the American heartland plays out like an acid Western crossed with the Book of Revelation but shot through with maniacal humor.
Justified is all about tense shootouts, damaged characters, and sharp dialogue. In fact, it might be the best translation of Leonard's famously punchy dialogue since Get Shorty and Jackie Brown. The highlight is Goggins as Boyd, a man who has seen deep darkness and still has his sights set on power, making the character intense but still believable.
