JONAH HEX... here we go, first the positive, Josh Brolin is very good as our semi-zombie lead IMHO, and the audio fireworks are room shaking good, however everything else seems to be in another movie entirely, as for the plot it's a direct steal from the Will Smith film Wild Wild West with a fair bit of Outlaw Josey Wales thrown in and botched in both attempts, the other actors should receive a proper slapping too, Megan(shot in soft focus throughout)Fox in a ridiculous love interest side plot comes across as a crap superhero-slut, and as for John Malkovich... he plays the villain as if he's a mono-tone French aristocrat from the Three Musketeers and not a crazy renegade southern general, although miscast he should have come up something better than that tosh, but having said all that if you switch your brain off it was a reasonable trashy Poundshop buy IMHO.

So if you can pick it up for £1 you can have a laugh at it's crass plot rip-offs and enjoy the rubbish acting from Malkovich.
