While that set-up seems ripe for drama, their relationship isn't given much room to develop, even with the film running a patience-testing 149 minutes, but she and her son (Bryant Prince) inevitably end up in danger and need saving.
Ruth Wilson (TV's Luther) plays the wife of John Reid's late brother, who actually dated John first, years ago.
As in any good buddy movie, they bicker and try to lose each other at various junctures and go at the problem alone - until they realize that they must depend on each other if they're going to succeed. Reid is a straight-arrow who intends to capture Cavendish so that he can be properly tried in a court of law, while Tonto is half-mad and believes that Cavendish is a supernatural Wendigo who must be taken down with a silver bullet. A series of cirumstances force John Reid, aka you-know-who ( The Social Network's Armie Hammer), and Tonto (Johnny Depp), to team up to hunt down Butch Cavendish (a heavily made-up William Fichtner), who has murdered members of both men's families. okay.įirst off, it is oddly set-up as a kind of Old West buddy-cop comedy. Well, this flick deserves neither the vitriol nor the praise. At this point, the Jerry Bruckheimer/Gore Verbinski adaptation of the old radio and TV series The Lone Ranger has been a huge box office disappointment, a critical failure, and, on the opposite end of the spectrum, one of Quentin Tarantino's ten favorite films of 2013.
