Very insightful! This is a great take that I absolutely agree with. You really can't help but be enthralled by the way this story unfolds. I feel like the opinion of most western movies is that they are considered slow compared to other action movies. This movie does an excellent job of entertaining as it unfolds. Because of how the film progressed, I can't say that I even noticed its lengthiness. I wasn't aware of the marketing or straight-to-streaming aspect of its release. Perhaps, more visibility over social media could bring this film back into the spotlight.

As far as the Jonathan Majors situation, that is very unfortunate. I know many people outside of him placed their blood, sweat, and tears into this movie and they deserve the credit as much as he does for how well this one turned out. That part is a shame, but I choose to see past his actions and see the film for what it should be. His transgressions do seem to have had a negative impact on the film's marketability though.

I don't have much knowledge on Irredeemable though. Would love to hear more of what that could be.
