First Trailer For The Western HICKOK Starring Luke Hemsworth

Man, Westworld is really good. It's so good, that it almost makes me wonder if westerns are gonna make a comeback. Then I see a trailer for Hickok starring Luke Hemsworth and I realize that no... probably not.

This trailer is pretty bad. Like not monumentally bad, but still. Poor acting, some bad looking cinematography, even some makeup that looks very much made up. I want to like this movie, and tell you to go see this movie. But to do so would require me to see this movie, and this trailer just makes me not want to.

Now maybe I'm judging it too hard because I saw Hemsworth and instantly thought of Liam and Chris. They have a reputation of doing good movies and while Luke Hemsworth isn't necessarily the Stephen Baldwin of his family, he definitely isn't gonna be in any Marvel films anytime soon. The film also stars Bruce Dern and Kris Kristofferson. Here's the synopsis: 

Infamous gunslinger and outlaw “Wild Bill” Hickok (Hemsworth) attempts to escape his past by settling in the small town of Abilene, Kansas. The mayor (Kristofferson), captivated by Wild Bill’s unparalleled gun skills, offers him a job as the town marshal. Attempts to protect the town are soon challenged when a band of outlaws threaten Wild Bill and the laws he administered. Among the outlaws are powerful saloon owner Phil Poe (Trace Adkins), whose relationship with Bill’s ex-lover (Cameron Richardson) stirs tension. Poe puts a bounty on Wild Bill’s head but with the help of lawman Hardin aka Little Arkansas, Wild Bill sets out to fight the villainous bandits and save Abilene from danger.

It looks like a straight to DVD film. But maybe I'm wrong. Hickok hits Theaters and VOD on July 7th, 2017. I'll be busy watching Spider-Man: Homecoming that day.
