John Travolta in In a Valley of Violence
The Big Picture Who said a Western can't be scary too? Ti West paints the town and screen red with violence and fury in his excellent, underrated Western, In a Valley of Violence. Starring Ethan Hawke and John Travolta, the 2016 film got swept under the rug, despite great reviews singling out their performances and West's direction. A gripping tale of revenge, it's got West's signature gore and kooky characters, while eliciting the westerns of the 60s and 70s.
In a Valley of Violence RWesternActionCrimeThriller A mysterious stranger and a random act of violence drag a town of misfits and nitwits into the bloody crosshairs of revenge. Ethan Hawke Transforms Into a Quiet, Reserved Killer Close Hawke still manages to ooze charm out of every pore in In a Valley of Violence, even while barely saying a word, bathed in his and other people's blood. With his expert horse riding and quick handle of his gun, you'd think he'd been acting in Westerns all his career. He makes for a daunting, commanding action hero, reminiscent of any brooding John Wayne role, but with even more bite and plenty more depth.
John Travolta Gives a Darkly Funny Performance in a Rare Western Role John Travolta gives one of his most underrated performances as the comic relief amidst a lot of violence. He's despicable but also funny as a corrupt town marshal with a wooden leg, going about swearing and killing. Despite fitting the genre like a glove, he seldom makes Westerns.
