IN A VALLEY OF VIOLENCE<\/a><\/strong>
\nFocus World<\/strong>
\nReviewed by: Harvey Karten, Shockya<\/strong>
\nGrade: B<\/strong>
\nDirector:\u00a0 Ti West<\/strong>
\nWritten by: Ti West<\/strong>
\nCast: Taissa Famiga, Karen Gillan, John Travolta, Ethan Hawke<\/strong>
\nScreened at: Review, NYC, 8\/31\/16<\/strong>
\nOpens: October 21, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ethan Hawke\u2019s character, Paul, has a few things more or less in common with Donald J. Trump\u2019s persona, The Donald.\u00a0\u00a0 Paul has drawn final plans as of this late-August critics\u2019 screening date to go to Mexico, part of his promise to make America amazing.\u00a0 Paul is going there as a last resort, having burned his bridges in the American West.\u00a0 The Donald believes that America is in decline, the worst in history.\u00a0 Paul thinks that America is in decline, the worst he has experienced as well.\u00a0 If you look at the lack of infrastructure in Denton, TX, in Ti West\u2019s \u201cIn a Valley of Violence,\u201d you might recall that America in 2016 could use some infrastructure as well. \u201cIn a Valley of Violence\u201d takes place in 19th century America, while some The Donald\u2019s fans would now like our U.S. to go back to the 19th century. So it\u2019s not at all difficult to relate to Ti West\u2019s storyline, any more than you would have trouble relating to the writer-director\u2019s \u201cThe Innkeepers\u201d where two employees of a haunted hotel on its last legs begin to experience strange occurrences.<\/p>\n

Though \u201cIn a Valley of Violence\u201d has some elements of the slasher subgenre, it recalls the tropes of John Ford.\u00a0 There\u2019s a climactic scene reminiscent of Fred Zinnemann\u2019s 1952 classic \u201cHigh Noon,\u201d though the marshal this time, played by John Travolta, is more likely to play the craven coward, the peacekeeper, rather than the gunslinger betting his life on his skills with the quick draw.<\/p>\n

A typical revenge drama (though did you catch the wink in anyone\u2019s eye?) finds Paul (Ethan Hawke), a drifter and a cavalry deserter, heading with his horse and dog through Texas into Mexico.\u00a0 After a prolonged and unnecessary encounter with a drunken preacher (Burn Gorman) who correctly informs the stranger that the town of Denton, Texas is full of sinners, the two take their leave.\u00a0 In a bar, where Paul asks for a bowl of water \u201cfor my dog,\u201d Deputy Marshall Gill Martin (James Ransone) goes ballistic when the stranger does not answer his questions, challenging Paul to a fist-fight.\u00a0 When Gill\u2019s father, Marshal Clyde Martin (John Travolta), warns Paul to get out of town\u2014duly obeyed\u2014Paul is confronted by the town goons, who commit a heinous act that has us in audience praying that Paul will fulfill our desire for vengeance.<\/p>\n

Campy elements vie with melodrama, particularly during the startling close-ups of the two women and of Deputy Gilly Martin (James Ransone). The women are shrill.\u00a0\u00a0 Ellen (Karen Gillan), a hotel worker dressed as though preparing for a night on the town, loves nothing more than a good fight.\u00a0 Her kid sister, Mary-Anne (Taissa Farmiga), is more conventional, preparing food in the hotel\u2014which looks more like the Hanoi Hilton than the Hyatt Regency.\u00a0 Though only sixteen, she has given up on finding a man, until she runs into Paul (Ethan Hawke), who is \u201cpassing through.\u201d\u00a0 Paul is lonely, his only friend being Abby (Jumpy), played by a border collie mix known for some spectacular videos on the \u2018net, knocking out the best dog-to-human performance since the late Uggie\u2019s in Miehl Havanavicius\u2019 2011 silent pic \u201cThe Artist.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a Valley of Violence,\u201d filmed in Galistero and Santa Fe, New Mexico, is at once a lark (meaning a spirited adventure), a slasher film in the style of Quentin Tarantino, and a homage to all the black-and-white TV westerns graced with the talents of Tom Mix, Roy Rogers, Gene Autrey, John Wayne and others.\u00a0 Ethan Hawke is a good fit as the strong, silent type who had left his wife along with his military unit to set out for Mexico with his well-trained dog, but James Ransone is most compelling as the guy-looking-for-a-fight\u2014to his dad\u2019s regret\u2014and whose facial contortions marry elements of danger and campy humor equally.<\/p>\n

Rated R.\u00a0 104 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n
