Not Wanted
Well I like Westerns, Anthology films and some of Coen brothers films are great. So surely this was going to be a sure hit. Much like one of the stories you're hoping for gold but left with barely a glimmer.
6 stories of which a couple were good, a few just average and a dud. The biggest disappointment was that there appeared to be little point to stories, individually or collectively. Halfway through and it was becoming boring and just hoping the next story would be a big improvement. Only to fail. A real shame.
