The pacing has this old-school rhythm, where moments of quiet contemplation are punctuated by sudden violence. The gunfights are practical, no fancy effects, just raw and real. It gives the film a grounded feel, reflective of the era. The performances are solid, particularly the lead, who embodies that weary sense of duty.
