The U.S. military makes a scarred bounty hunter with warrants on his
own head an offer he cannot refuse: in exchange for his freedom, he
must stop a terrorist who is ready to unleash Hell on Earth.After seeing his family murdered and himself brutally mutilated by
Quentin Turnbull (John Malkovich), Jonah Hex (Josh Brolin) turns bounty
hunter to capture any bad guy he can but soon the President asks Hex to
track down and kill Turnbull who has stolen a massive weapon that could
take out the country. Without the ending credits this thing clocks in
at 73-minutes, which is rather amazing in today's world when it seems
movies keep getting longer and longer. I don't mind the short running
time as I feel it something we need more of but at the same time this
film is a mess. For starters, while watching the thing it's clear this
was meant to be longer and more violent. The film jumps around from one
bit of the story to the next and it appears the short running time was
done to build the "style" of storytelling.
