There's a good movie here, but it's buried by too many attempts to be something it's not, most egregiously some kind of great dramatic examination of our treatment of Native Americans.

Clearly influenced by classic Westerns, particularly the films of director John Ford, "Hostiles" is a worthy addition to the genre.

... a strong, if overlong and over-obvious, western...

The acting is above average, the score is more prominent. At times, the goings get a big sluggish. Just meet the movie halfway and you'll be fine.

By turns deliberative and chaotic, brutal and merciful, definitely bleak and just maybe hopeful, Hostiles could have ended with its penultimate scene, but it would have been a very different movie.

What truly results, in a meaningful way, is an understanding that neither side can claim to be morally absolute. There is no right or wrong, no sense of things being purely black or white.

As a handsome-looking western, Hostiles does the trick, but when it tries to probe deeper, it just comes up short.

Cooper's reach may exceed his grasp with Hostiles, which is never as incisive or as profound as it often wants to be. But he's made a movie that says America can never come to terms with its divisive hate-filled present unless it finally faces its past.

Bale does outstanding work, revealing unexpected depths of intelligence and sensitivity.

Works as a contrived but effective parable of the American West, its painful legacy, and small measures of redemption...But our focus frustratingly remains on the white people and Blocker's struggle to reach empathy...

Bale deserved an Oscar nomination for this.

It offers shreds of hope, something we can cling to even now.
