Sinopses(1)
The year is 1963. Retired sheriff George Blackledge (Kevin Costner) lives on a Montana ranch with his wife Margaret (Diane Lane), their adult son James (Ryan Bruce), his wife Lorna (Kayli Carter) and the couple’s newborn baby Jimmy. Their home is humble but happy, until one bright autumn morning when tragedy strikes, James dies of a broken neck when thrown from his horse. Three years later, his widow Lorna marries Donnie Weboy (Will Brittain), a young man with strong ties to his North Dakota clan. Margaret’s worst suspicions of Donnie’s dark side are confirmed on a visit to town, when she witnesses him strike both Lorna and her grandson. Margaret is deeply alarmed when the newlyweds pull up stakes in the middle of the night, leaving town without saying goodbye. She resolves to track the couple down and to bring Jimmy home to live with her and George. Unable to dissuade headstrong Margaret from her mission, George reluctantly agrees to the journey and to helping her rescue the boy and Lorna. But the violent and controlling Weboys, headed by uncompromising matriarch Blanche Weboy (Lesley Manville), won’t allow the Blackledges to reclaim their loved ones. George and Margaret are left with no choice but to fight for their family, no matter how great the cost. (Universal Pictures International (UPI))

If you don’t know what build-up is, watch Let Him Go, an old-school film, with terrific performances by Diane Lane and Kevin Costner, and an atmosphere that thickens and thickens and thickens until it burns with flame.

Um filme ao estilo Eastwood sem Eastwood e com Costner. Com um sujeito com temas agradáveis, mas de alguma forma demasiado simples, apenas flutuando na superfície. Os clichés do género, juntamente com a música poética do western de Giacchino tentando em vão imitar o duo de compositores de Eastwood/Niehaus, apenas confirmam a mediocridade da obra. É uma pena — a tentativa de Diane Lane (como única) acrescenta traços de profundidade e o motivo com o índio solitário é bastante interessante.

A 1960s Western vibe, retired sheriff Kevin Costner and the always good and attractive Diane Lane are on the trail of their grandson who is in the hands of a violent man and a strange family. The film moves at a very slow pace but manages to build up the atmosphere nicely, at least from the family dinner – lately a major point of confrontation in – escalating with a scene in a room and culminating in an atmospheric finale where there is a bit of action. A powerful story with impressive performances, a tightly packed atmosphere and heightened emotion. Not for everyone but I enjoyed it. Story****, Action**, Humor>No, Violence**, Entertainment****, Music***, Visuals****, Atmosphere****, Suspense***. 7/10.

A suspense flick where almost everything works in a minimum of space. Costner and Lane had already proven themselves as a film couple in Man of Steel, and it was probably no coincidence that they reprised similar roles several years later. A typical Eastwood movie that lacks the traditional morose Eastwood, but instead there's a damn cool Costner in his typical "semi-scruffy guy" role that he's been playing for a good decade now, and it’s still fun, as it's apt, from life and avoids useless talk about nothing. Costner's character here is also the quiet type, but he's on point and the film's strongest moments are around him. In contrast, Diane Lane puts in a palette of expressive emotions and sometimes the writers untie her hands too much, overwhelming the viewer with dialogue that could have been shorter. Another great little film that is sometimes painful to watch, but throws in some interesting moments to ponder about family, relationships, life's losses, etc.

The result exceeded my expectations in full! It’s a slowly unfolding, old-school film that drags in some moments (especially the first half is a prime example), but on the other hand, it stays firmly in the above-average range, thanks to the perfect chemistry between the lead actors (Kevin Costner, Diane Lane). While the plot isn’t particularly innovative, as a viewer, I was still surprised by one crazy situation that I really didn’t expect. From the dinner scene at the beginning of the second half (which is, for me, the best sequence of the entire film, with the dense atmosphere literally palpable), the film picked up pace, and the dialogues were gripping. It all concluded with a successful, cathartic, and simultaneously sad ending. I can imagine that with a more capable director, we might have had a film of the year. But satisfaction still prevails. For me, 7.5/10
