    Welcome to Flaw vs Awe Reviews where we rate & rank the movies & shows we love & hate. I’m Ronny Haze and today we’re looking at #bonetomahawk, a 2015 American Western film written and directed by S. Craig Zahler in his directorial debut. It stars Kurt Russell, Patrick Wilson, Matthew Fox, Richard Jenkins, Lili Simmons, Evan Jonigkeit, David Arquette, and Sid Haig and was produced by Jack Heller and Dallas Sonnier. The film is about a small-town sheriff who leads a posse into a desolate region to rescue three people who were abducted by a cannibalistic Native American clan. Development of the film started when Zahler's friend and manager Dallas Sonnier recommended creating a film adaptation of Zahler's Western novel Wraiths of a Broken Land. Realizing that such a project could not be adapted on a low budget, Zahler opted to write a rescue Western instead. Casting began in October 2014, with Peter Sarsgaard, Timothy Olyphant, and Jennifer Carpenter signed on to play before being replaced by Wilson, Fox, and Simmons respectively due to scheduling conflicts. Principal photography took place in California over a course of 21 days in October 2014. The premiere of Bone Tomahawk took place at Fantastic Fest on October 1, 2015 and was given a limited release on October 23 by RLJ Entertainment, grossing over $480,000 in theater sales and $4.32 million in home media sales against a $1.8 million budget. The film received mainly positive reviews, with praise for Zahler's screenplay and direction and the performances of the ensemble cast.
    #flawvsawe Review Rules:
    Anything that is just okay/meh is ignored. Anything that is bad/ terrible gets a Flaw. Anything good/great gets an Awe. This series focuses specifically on what works versus what sucks. Movies and Shows are broken down by scenes. Anything that stands out can earn only one point (F or A), however, combo points build up when a scene/moment has layers. For example, a scene can have an emotional payoff, great score and solid visuals layered into one moment that earns a combo point count. Also, for the sake of time, I might cover a big chunk, combining multiple scenes and again a combo point count will be shown. Once we count all of the Flaws and Awes, we then move to the Mapp Cinema-Score. We remove the F’s (flaws) away from the A’s (awes) which gives us a final score. This score could range from -200 to +200. Movies are then ranked against other movies. Shows are ranked against other episodes and other shows. Since shows spread the story over multiple episodes (seasons), they will not be ranked along with movies. These aren’t definitive scores either. You may score it differently and that’s where you can participate. Put your favorite scenes or most hated moments in the comment sections. You may be featured in a future video.

    Her being mad at them was realistic for her character, her assumed personality, and the situation. I know it feels like other things, but they got it right. She’s high intelligence, emotional but not matured in it, and vigilant. It’s out of her control and she reacts with anger instead of sadness. Being grateful in a situation like that is premature. It’s dire. She and they are in survival mode.

    • @flawvsawe

      Her being mad is fine, it's the sloppy insult in place of something more clever that got me sour.

      Woulda said it if you didn't. I really appreciate this channel, but I was slightly surprised they didn't catch that it's not a film flaw, but just a character irritation, and what several women I know would have done. Several men would have felt like that as well by the way.
      Oh, it pisses me off as well, but I get it. It's accurate.

      @@flawvsawe Ahhhh now I have even another complaint. Don't get Tarantinoed about too much too often. That's fun, when somebody has the cover line, but damn that is a double-edged sword. Part of what I hated happening to Hollywood (and even independent films) is their love affair with what sells and what makes a good movie, and the ever changing gap between.
      Clever just is't appropriate at times, and the more you experience life (not just movies), the better off we'll all be in discussion... and if you make your own movie.
      So much "fun time" has been injected into film, the the fault of many, not the few or one, that I miss the films that immerse me most easily because they are believable. Those are in fact my favorite, by far. The others are the same as going to an amusement park that happens to have a buffet. Something in it for everyone; clever, gory, funny, romantic, exciting, beautiful people, sex, swearing, characters that are bad BUT not racist or bigots.... give me a break, that's how to dumb down the world and insult thinking people's intelligence. It makes me wonder if I'll ever be swept up by a movie ever again.
      I'm not saying everything has to be "Sophie's Choice" or a documentary, but for f--k's sake I wish they would stop trying to fill everything to the brim with "cool". It's just so fake.
      Even if the film I watch is a fantasy, based on the improbable or rather, the fantastic would be more appropriate LOL... the job should be make everything believable for the situation.
      She could have acted it better, showing she doesn't have the words, even more physical draining to sell that's all she has to whip up.... but it should not be clever. Not at that time.

    The little touches of humanity like the Flea circus bit are such a great contrast to the unspeakable savagery ever-looming over them, as if to spite the cruel and unforgiving world they've found themselves ass deep in.

    I was expecting something else with name Bone Tomahawk hehe. I'm not big on Westerns maybe favorite Clint Eastwood is High Plains Drifter or even The Beguiled. Brisco County Junior was alright as it had Bruce Campbell. I'd like to see review Tombstone or Young Guns or Wyatt Earp with Costner. I'm not sure I've seen this. Jonah Hex is kinda cool for like a melding. Sorta funny how she calls them idiots which is true. I would have just moved on as probably would get typhoid or some kinda infection that can't cure. There some funny flaws. I"m glad an Organic Vegetarian its like in TWD when were processing them to be food. Better than the Lone Ranger version of Tonto in that movie ;). Women wouldn't fight in that culture ;).

    I love this movie, but others who have seen it absolutely will not watch it again. Too disturbing for them.

    I think having no credits in the opening isnt always a flaw like apocalypse now didnt have credits and it did well, even without ending credits

    A stellar cast,great plot,excellent scenography,,a Western....but this One with a very Terrifying twist.
    This movie caught me completely of guard,and I'am very happy for that because "Bone Tomahawk" it's not an excellent movie but an excellent horror movie.
    To my knowledge is probably the 1st Horror Western I'am not sure but one thing is for certain,what a Treat of a movie with those 3 or 4 scenes that you think to yourself " WTF .... Jesus Christ what on earth those Evil troglodites are doing....man,this is Heavy stuff".
    This movie was the Best surprise for the last 10 years,solid.
