Another film that probably a lot of people will not pay attention to, and in vain, because both the acting and the plot of the film hold the bar. Not many westerns are released, but they are always enticing, because the locations, the atmosphere of the Wild West, the people themselves and their everyday life, are interesting to look at. But the main reason I started watching this movie is the involvement of Thomas Jane, who I really like, and I’m glad they gave him a big role in the movie, and towards the end of the movie it turns out that he will have almost a key role.

The film is set in 1882, Yellowstone City. Thomas played the role of a priest with his past, who lives with his wife Alice (played by Anne Camp), he preaches, gives blessings to people and he is also a kind of undertaker who takes responsibility for dead bodies. One day a black guy, a former slave, who calls himself Cisero (played by Isaiah Mustafa), comes to town hoping to find a home. There is a murder in town and gold has been stolen, the local sheriff immediately decides to arrest the new visiting guy, as the whole story unfolds the priest and his wife become involved in the whole thing.

The acting is very nice, especially that of Thomas Jane, and the actors who played the roles of the sheriff, Isabel, Cicero are also good, by the end of the movie even Anna Camp who plays the role of the priest’s wife is very enjoyable.

The movie is rather long (more than two hours), the first half of the movie passes slowly, but starting from the second half the action becomes more active, the plot starts to gain momentum.

As I have already written above, the atmosphere of the Wild West is very attractive, there is no high technology here, but there are only simple ordinary people, guns and rifles, horses, and everything is solved by men’s brute force, and sometimes, you have to resort to the law.

Murder in Yellowstone City is a quality western thriller that endures the atmosphere of a western.
