What critics compared Dead for a Dollar to
From his early days helming down-and-dirty barnburners like Hard Times and The Driver , to his frequently overlooked 1990s run of Trespass , Geronimo: An American Legend , and the criminally underrated Wild Bill with Jeff Bridges and Ellen Barkin, his solid genre craftsmanship and insistence on digging into the thornier recesses of the human condition has always excited me.
The director, who has been making movies for almost 50 years — his debut was 1975’s Hard Times — has returned with his first film in six years, and his first full-on Western in an even longer time than that.
Directed by Walter Hill ( The Assignment ; Bullet to the Head ; Last Man Standing ; Streets of Fire ; 48 Hrs and its sequel; Southern Comfort ; The Long Riders ; The Warriors ; The Driver ) from a screenplay written co-written with Matt Harris.
