Red Rock West

...the real joy here is Hopper in a superbly psychotic turn as gunman Lyle, not a million miles away from, and probably related to, Blue Velvet's Frank.

It's the kind of movie made by people who love movies, have had some good times at them, and want to celebrate the very texture of old genres like the western and the film noir.

Cage is the near-perfect embodiment of a modern-day noir hero and the rest of the cast is equally fine.
